wont start. fuel/no spark
 

well my car has now been sitting inmy driveway for about 3 months or slightly over. it has a full tnak of gas and the batterie is still good. when i try to start it it begins ot turn over but will not fully start. i personally belive it is the fuel system but i cant say for sure. after flipping the fuel pump on and off a few times i checked the schrader (i think?) valve that is on the fuel rails and the first time nothing came out at all. did it about 10 more times and i got a slight dribble of gas out. any ideas??? ide like to figure this out asap so i cna get my clutch going

Well, bad pump or clogged filter? Can you hear the pump?

yeah its got a 255 pump and i cna hear it turn on, thing has always been loud haha. i replaced the filter wiht the pump but i havnt checked it. how long doesthat normally take ot go bad?

A long time. You need to check f/p if the gas is barely dribbling out the schreader

is there anyway to do this without the car needing to be on and running or wihtout dropping the tank??? i know i cna get a pressure gauge from auto stores but i thought the car had to idle for that

No, connect it to the schreader, hit the key. It should register.

alright well do you think thats my best bet??? i will try this first but if you have any other ideas let me know

My guess would be fuel pump as well...

well after doing a little tinkering im starting to think that maybe i have no spart at all comming from the distributor. someone wana tell me a good way to check this short of shocking myself?

Pull a plug wire off....have someone crank the engine over....put the end of the plug wire near to a ground...see if a spark jumps...
