Greetings to the forum, this is my first post.

I have been trying to get my 1985 vette to run.
The problem is that the motor will not stay running at all. If I give it a little starting fluid it runs well till the fluid is all gone.

So far I have confirmed that the fuel is getting to the injectors. I have confirmed spark. I have replace the computer also. I have new spark plugs and wires to boot.
I have changed the fuel filter also. When I changed out the computer I used my old prongs that I had.

I have fuel spark and clean gas.
As I stated it will only run untill the starting fluid is used up.

Is there any kind of sensors I should be aware of that might need testing or replaced?

I am so stumped at the moment what little hair I have left is getting nervouse  LOL.

Thanks for your replys, have a great New Year


Stu

Ok, you're getting fuel, but is it enough fuel? Did you do a pressure test? If the pump isn't putting out the minimum amount of pressure for the injectors to work properly, then the motor won't stay running.

If the car runs with you spraying starter fluid in the intake, then you probably don't have a spark issue.

Since it runs well when you're feeding it starting fluid, I defintiely think you're not getting enough fuel pressure.
