Put new EC module, IT module, distributor EGR valve, coil, TP sensor and fuel pump works. The car cranks but will not fire.

What's missing ? Spark , fuel pressure , or compression. Try spraying carb cleaner into the engine ,throttle plate . Does it try to start then ? If the injectors are bad it will not start , just crank ! Videos on youtube showing how to test fuel injectors with a ohm meter .

98 firebird ran out of gas now it want start. acts like it isn't getting fuel.

It is more than likely air locked if you turned the engine with no fuel in it. So remove the fuel pipe from the engine and crank the engine till the fuel comes out then connect it to the engine again

Why is my 1989 Pontiac Firebird hesitating and now wont turn over?

How long since a tune-up? Include air filter, fuel filter, gas injector cleaner...Also check the Idle Air Control valve on your 3.4 V-6...It can be dirty or clogged over time...Located on the air intake plenum...your auto parts store can also show you a diagram...Fuel pressure must be constant also, your Firebird is worth having the fuel pressure regulator checked, as well as the fuel pump...

Why wont this 95 firebird run after changing all injectors because of fuel leak

You have to bleed the air out of the lines which bring fuel to the injectors. Usually this is done by placing a rag to soak up fuel under a fuel line joint (connection point), loosen the joint to allow air to escape until you see rule coming out, then tighten the joint to stop the leak once the line is full of fuel again. It may be easier to find the fuel return line and loosen it until you see fuel coming out. Have a fire extinguisher handy.

Put new fuel pump in 1992 firebird. i have fuel to fuel rail and spark injectors are not firing thankyou for any help

On your car the ECM is set up with two quad injector firing sequence. All even numbers and all odd numbers. It is rare that both would go out at the same time. The ECM grounds the injectors, so I would check for power going to the injectors first. This could be a fuse or a bad wire. One wire feeds power to the injectors until it reaches the engine. this is a start, so let me know. Randy

MY 90 BIRD WILL NOT RUN UNLESS I POUR FUEL IN THE INJECTORS MYSELF.once the fuel runs out it dies

Is there gas in the tank? Many GM fuel gauges have shown half-full when in actuality, the tank has run dry. Check injector circuits with a noid light or regular test light to see if the light flashes. If the light flashes, but the injectors are not spraying, check fuel pressure with a gauge. If no fuel pressure, ensure that the fuel pump fuse is not blown (many GM cars have the fuel pump fuse in an inline fuse holder) If the fuse is good, check that the fuel pump is receiving power and ground (positive and negative) If it is, and there is still no fuel pressure, the pump is bad, and the gas tank will have to be dropped to get the pump out. Good Luck.

98 firebird 3.8 engine died and would start back up. no fuel pump sound. replaced fuel pump and drove about 10 miles. car died and no pump sound. tpwed to yhe shop and the car started back up. no codes set...

This is a common problem on GM vehicles. When this happens, look for a light on the dash somewhere that says SECURITY. If you see this, you have an antitheft security issue. It can accually turn off your starter, fuel pump, or injectors. Check out this link for info and some possible DO IT YOURSELF solutions. http://vatspasslockpasskeysecurityhelp.yolasite.com/

indicates problem injectors
a cheap test is to run a couple of cans quality injector cleaner through the fuel tank and if that doesn't improve it have the injectors cleaned and checked
