Pull a plug wire and put a screw driver in the boot, hold the metal shaft of the driver (close) to a ground (header.) While cranking it should throw an arc across the driver to the ground. Keep your hand on the handle.

Fuel, crank the car and push in on the schrader valve. It should spurt some gas from it. Looks like a valve stem on the fuel rail. A gauge would be better.

*Check your TPS voltage. If its too high it tells the ECM your motors flooding, The ECM will cut off your fuel.

When its running does it have surging idle or cut off for no reason?
