Hi everybody quick question, I can't get it start.
Today I got it to go for a few seconds by spraying some gas into the air intake. However, it will shutdown as soon as I press the gas pedal?!
Ive been told it could be my iac valve... Any ideas what the problem is.
Thanks

Can you hear fuel pumps when key is turned on?

Well I had checked the fuel rail and gas was coming out when I would turn the key. What confuses me is to why the car would turn off as soon as I press the gas pedal.....

Not enough fuel pressure...check fuel-rail's pressure

Yeah that was my guess i had checked that fuel was coming out but lack of pressure tester stopped me from checking further. I will jump the pumps to make sure they are both working and will report my findings. Thanks for the help
