will it start

will my 94 lumina start if i inject it with starting fluid even if the fuel pump is shot

Its been while since this was posted so I don't know if this is gonna help or not but if you take the air cleaner tube loose from the throttle body and spray starting fluid in there it should start.....I have even been able to keep an engine running til the can ran out if you keep spraying it in at the right time.....
