please don't use starting fluid unless you enjoy fireballs


does the tach move when cranking?
Any smoke from tail pipe?


mine took a while to prime when I changed out my pump, can take 5 minutes cranking, just let the starter rest a bit between cranks or your starter will be gone

What fuel pressure are you reading? tire gauge on Schrader valve works well for this

My 97 did that the other day, I never used starting fluid but I found out it was a blown 30 amp fuse. I went ahead and unplugged my fuel bowl heater and now she fired right up and doesn't stall on me anymore.
