Re: gm car question
 

what size engine and type of injection?check for pressure at schrader valve,I also don't think holding a gas soaked rag in front of throttle body a good idea,backfire and your looking at serious injury

Re: gm car question
 

Make sure the pump is getting power,check at relay or where ever the coonection is at the tank,make sure you have power to the pump.

Re: gm car question
 

After checking for fuel pressure at the rail, check for injector pulse and power. Do you have spark?

Make sure it has gasolene in the tank. As a service mgr. at car dealership I saw lots of cars with wrong fuel. IE: diesel, kerosene.
