SOURCE: Not getting fuel to digital carbuerator

Replace the fuel pump.If you live up North then in some cases where the air is real cold and nippy the fuel lines will actually leak flaky gas into the pump without it on to pump it to the carb, therefore corrosion and rust seize the Fuel Pump until it doesn't turn on when the key is in the 2nd position.

1985 cadillac eldorado wont start battery good all lights and power works

Check the wire harness a foot or two from the
battery, for corroded fusible links

May have to open up some harness a little

Make sure the starter hasn't failed

Try to put battery power directly to the starter solenoid,
to see if it turns over,be careful under there, with the key
on, if it starts

Car turns over but wont start. I changed the spark plugs and wires, the distributor cap, fuel pump but it still wont start. seems to be getting worse not better.

I REMEMBER WORKING ON THE EARLY 80S MODEL CARS.I WOULD SCAN IT.IF YOU GET CODE 55 YOUR PCM FAULTY.IF YOU GET CODE 12 NO DISTRIBUTOR REFERENCE PULSES TO ECM OR PCM. POSSIBLE CAUSE OPEN IGNITION COIL OR BAD PICK UP COIL OR IGNITION MODULE.

1991 eldorado wont start

So you put gas down the throttle body and it won't start. Sounds to me like you either have NO SPARK or your plugs are already fuel fouled. Even with you supplying the fuel. it still wont start. FYI, the FUEL FILTER is located by the R/R wheel, and the FUEL PUMP is located IN the fuel tank. Hope this helps

'89 Eldorado starts fine but dies

It take two people to find out if it has sparkplug fire. If it is not getting any fuel you may pour a small amount into throttle body and see if it will start if you have spark. If you turn it over trying to start it you should see the injectors squirting fuel down into it.
