Re: z24 won't run - need advice

Well, since no one has a clue out there... I guess I'll need to work this myself.

- So far
- visual inspection all vaccum lines, ignition wiring, and pulled all fuses/reseated (engine compartment)
- pulled ignition coils & module housing - swapped out with a junkyard unit - same results - not sold that this is ignition problem
- attempted to get components tested at a few places - no luck - seems garages can do a test - when they are in the car - not useful...

- So I bought a fuel pressure meter and a schrader valve kit - need to BE SURE the fuel pressure is around 10-13 lbs - so pressure I'll test
- next step pull the throttle body, IAC, TPS and clean them.
- Pull the plugs, clean them, drop some oil in the cylinders for compression
- Put her all back together and try to start it

- If it runs, great, if not.... need to get this electronic test complete... I do not want this to be a PCM problem.....

So if anyone else has this type of problem, hopefully my posts will help.
