Re: Whats wrong now?!!?
The obvious suspects are fuel delivery and spark. Check for each of those and your work should be cut in half.

Re: Whats wrong now?!!?
got lots of spark, its the pump, cant hear it when you try and crank it, and if you dump some gas in the carb, it starts and burns off the gas you threw in and quits, and also held the TB open when tried to start, no spray, its the pump.

Re: Whats wrong now?!!?
I've gone through two fuel pumps in my Cav. After the 2nd, the tech asked me if I let the tank run down to Empty often, which I usually did.
The tech told me the fuel pumps are really weak and prone to failure on an empty tank. He told me to use the 1/4 mark as the 'Empty' and I should not have to replace the pump again for many many years. Its been a couple of years, and so far, what he has said has held up. Danny

Re: Whats wrong now?!!?
Yepp i bought this car used, and was abused....no surprised, mine in my z24 is 10 years orignial .
 . Although my engine right now in it, a lifter is going bad and clicks like crazy, so yet anotehr engine has gotta go in, 3rd one......damn Quad 4's....garbage, the 2.2's hold up way better than the quad 4's. My first motor had 185K on it, this one 190k.....and the replacement one from the junkyard has 196K that im getting, since I cant afford anything else....800 bucks for it...hopefully this one lasts.
