KA won't start

[crhernandez]

Ok some backstory first:
I have an 89 s13 with a 97 KA in it. It was running fine up until last Friday when I was headed to work. It started up fine and I pulled away from my apartment no problems. About a mile from my apartment it bogged when I tried to give it gas and shut off a few seconds later. Now it won't start. The engine cranks, but won't start. I wasn't hearing the fuel pump prime so I replaced the pump, filter, and relay. Still cranks but won't start. I've searched but can't figure out what else it might be. Any suggestions?

Checked spark from all the wires. I'm getting spark from those. Haven't pulled the spark plug itself out to check those yet. Would too low of fuel pressure cause it not to start?

If you replaced the pump I doubt it's pressure. Can you feel pressure in the lines to the fuel rail?

I haven't tried to feel it. I figured maybe FPR went out and that would cause low pressure. I'll try to feel for it tomorrow when I get the chance.

Also confirm you have power at the fuel pump. Make sure it's priming.

Yeah, it's priming and has power. And I can smell fuel when I crank the car, so I know it's pumping. That's why my next guess was the fpr

Only way to tell is with a gauge

Yeah, I'm trying to find a friend with one now so I don't have to go buy it

Check your plugs for fuel. Had a 240 do something similar to this once, had an injector go wide open and start dumping fuel. replaced the injector and did it again. Ran the ground outside the harness(friends advice) and never had that problem again.
