1995 Cutlass Ciera SL: No pressure at the fuel rail

The car recently was running rough, and stalled a few times. Then it stalled and wouldn't start again. I checked the Schraeder valve on the fuel rail and had no pressure, so I changed the fuel filter. This didn't fix the problem. I then ran voltage to the fuel pump prime jumper by the fuel plump relay, and the fuel pump engaged resulting in full pressure at the rail. I replaced the fuel pump relay thinking that it was the reason the fuel pump wasn't engaging, but it didn't fix the problem. What engages the fuel pump relay on this car? Not sure what I should try next?

SOURCE: starts then quits

Was there fuel pressure before you changed everything? It could also be the pressure regulator sticking or bad. When you crank it over and let off the key you should hear the fuel pump run for a couple seconds and then shut off. If it is doing that then I would be looking to see if you have likes hooked up wrong at the back of the engine or try replacing the pressure regulator.

SOURCE: starts then quits

Try the ignition control module located under the distributor cap $30 - $60. This is one of two parts on this truck that will cause it to not run or shut down after running for only a short time. The other is the fuel pump I think it is safe to rule that out as your problem

SOURCE: Fuel pump on '95 cutlass ciera

There should be a pressure regulator in the circuit path to stop the pump once you have the proper pressure.

What makes the fuel pump not kick on on a 92 Oldsmobile Cutlass

There is a red wire close to the battery in the front. It's not connected to anything. Apply positive voltage and that will run your pump for testing purposes.

The first thing to check is the ignition timing then the spark plug gaps. There are specific settings/size for the above and must be correct for the car to run smoothly.

running the fault codes at an auto spares shop will give you the codes that are causing the problem

I was driving and the car cut off. It won't start but it cranks and won't turn over.It is a 1995 Olds Cutlass Ciera SL, 6 Cylinder.

your terminology is wrong.if it cranks its turning over what you mean is it won`t start(fire up) as you said at the beginning.anyways it sounds like you could have a fuel pump problem that stop working.this happens alot.you should check for spark at the plugs to make sure its not an ignition problem.did you notice a check engine light on when it was running.if so there will be a code in the ecm and may be the cause of your problem.
