So my car isn't getting fuel to the fuel rail. i pulled the rail off an its bone dry inside. i checked everything out an fuel gets all the way to the fuel regulator but isn't going threw it.
does this mean i don't have enough fuel pressure or what?

oh. car starts up when i spray starter fluid into the intake mani. then dies when its gone.

You got it wrong, fuel flows to the rail and then out the regulator. Are your lines hooked up right?

ok so it worked an the car started,but, it would only stay started while i give it gas. if i dont give it gas it dies out.

is the car idling right? just check up your sprarkplugs and wiring.
at mine car the sparkplug-connectors were rotten and i had a bad idle...

Unplug the MAF and start the car... If the car idles try plugging your MAF back in. If it dies, you have a bad MAF...
