Do the code reader Key On Engine Off, you said your cars a 93 so you have a fuel pump relay in the enigine compartment by the air box. Check that also...

So what if it does fire? You going to convert it to run on Brake Kleen?

He also said the fuel pump/relay isn't working, is Brake Kleen going to fix that?

NO it will verify if it is indeed a fuel problem rather then changing or hunting an issue that is not present.

and no it wont fix a broken relay, but i assume if he said he is getting fuel at the injectors as he claimed at one time then he has no idea what a working and non working relay is.

He still hasn't checked the fuel pump relay in the engine compartment

i am only helping him check the BASICS rather then sending someone on a wild fucking goose chase. i worked over 3 years in a mustang shop watching people bring their car in looking to change everything but the problem because they listened to expert smart asses online.

Good for you, my car never sees a shop. Running the code reader KOEO isn't "a wild fucking goose chase"

Don't be so foolish to think this thread is about you. I seen someone write tfi module and I am talking about tech talk in general.

lol you sound like a therapist, I am just trying to help this dude out. What you suggested just didn't seem like it would help if he knows his fuel pump isn't working, sorry "bro". I had no intention in arguing with you, I didn't want/need the drama....

You say everything is all 'coo', your getting spark, fuel and air. If you were indeed getting all three it would run.

I bet you don't get spark. Distributor, Ignition Coil, Ignition Switch. Check em.
