Fuel in fuel rail but not run BUT will run on starting fluid?

[Greg Millard]

I started my '92 as usual - no drama ran fine - drove it out of the garage switched it OFF and it has not run since, BUT will run immediately on starting fluid. Fuel spurts out of the fuel rail Shraeder valve rail but will not fire. I replaced the fuel pump with no change (so that was a waste of time) ie the same result. This is my third SHO, and they all have been so reliable I am at a loss as to what the cause may be - any insight/suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks, Retrogreg

Nothing the check engine light did not activate with jumper in place see pic. The fan however runs immediately once ignition is switched on which it normally does not do. thks again

My fans does the same thing when I turn the key during first start. When I restart a warm car, it's fine. From what I have read, it's either bad ground or ECU has an issue. Is the fuel spray strong when you press the schraeder valve, sprays straight up

A strong spray whic touches the underside of its opened hood is confirmed, Greg

Water in the gas?

I am thinking something is preventing the injectors from adding enough gas to start it. Do you have an spare ECU you could swap in. I imagine there is a test to see if the injectors are working

Fuel pump & fan always on - motor not running

Any electrical guru(s) know what would cause the fuel pump and cooling fan to stay on constantly with the key in the "on" position without the motor running? The car doesn't start either, which makes me think it's something other than stuck relays in the CCRM. Car is a 94 model.

I may end up with a spare ECU before prob I'D

You are getting fuel at the rails, and there doesn't seem anything wrong with the spark pugs as it starts with starter fluid. It might be that the injectors aren't opening, as mentioned. Could it be clogged injectors? It would be unusual for all of them to be stuck.
