Caprice will Turn Over, But wont Start

I believe the OP has a mid 80's caprice. it has no codes or fuel rail.

im pretty sure he said he had an 89. I had one. Its throttle body and it has obd1 emissions. The diagnostic port is right under the steering column.

these g-bodies do have a pin out for a reader. my '84 monte does, so his caprice should as well. that is, assuming he has an 80's g-body.

I was refering back to my 81 caprice. It may have had a pc it in, idk, I had junked all the original wires when I stuffed an Olds 350 rocket into it.

It was raw.

open the carb up and hit the fuel while watching inside it. you should be able to see a few little tiny squarts of fuel go into the carb. thats the easiest way to tell if it's getting fuel.

nope.
correct timing, correct air/fuel ratio as well, but fuel pressure at the rail, and checking spark are a good place to start, after you pull the codes from it.

really.

well shit, in that case you need a properly working ecm, ignition switch, compression, alternator etc etc.

simplify guy. you need air, fuel, and spark. rule #1, check for those three before you start anything.

and also compression. i've always heard it as the basic four air fuel spark and compression if you have all four then your car SHOULD run.
