Engine won't start ;got gas & cranks good; no

Bad wire harness or bad pump

You must find out if all the power from the distributor is getting to the plugs & the proper fuel PSI is being INJECTED into the motor (are the injectors INJECTING the proper psi at the right time or are the PLUGS FIRING properly? Poss? cam/ crank sensor, Not a steady Honda man but start w/ the basics. You got a reliable one there. check Fuel PSI, Air. Gas PSI, Spark & codes usually reff to electronic problems. Good Luck, Frank M

I don't think 3 months makes stale gas, maybe year old gas, but not your short time. And if not mistaken, I think you have throttle body injection on an '89 chevy, although chevy always was a little behind the curve on new improvements to cars. hint, hint.
The computer has everything to do with it. it controls ignition timing, it controls spark, it controls the fuel pump and the injectors. Since it won't start with starter fluid or gas, next step is to look into the ignition system. Check for spark on a couple of spark plug wires. If you have a blue, snapping spark, you can assume your ignition system is working well enough to start the engine. Take a spare spark plug or pull one of your plugs from engine, attach the plug wire onto it, and lay the plug on a metal piece of the top of engine-the spark plug hex and threads is the natural ground for the plug, so if you lay the threads on a metal piece, or hold it tight against a steel bolt, you can observe the spark jumping the gap, and no danger of getting shocked. But if you hold it, just in case, wear a glove or wrap a heavy cloth or rag around the wire. Remember, a blue energetic spark has to be seen to verify good ignition. Oh yes, you need a helper to crank the engine over while you watch for spark. If no spark, and you have a distributor, check the coil wires output at the end that connects to center top of distributor.Pull it from distributor and hold the metal end terminal no more than 1/4 inch from a ground source, a bolt or the frame, or an engine bracket. Helper has to crank the engine over, and watch for good blue spark. If no spark there-ignition: coil, crank position sensor (or maybe a pickup coil inside your distributor-same function), ignition control module, computer, and all the associated wiring.
If coil has spark, but none at plug wire ends, inspect closely the distributor cap and rotor. not passing current or shorting out there.
So the basics are, to run, the engine needs gas, air, compression, and a timely spark.

Determine if it is an ignition or gas failure. Does the fuel pump still work? Do you have gas up to the engine? Watch the injectors for spraying a cone pattern of fuel when car is cranking-that is, if the car is throttle body injected. If multi-port injected, you cant see the injector spray, so check for fuel at the engine fuel rail, or crack the fuel line at the engine to see if fuel is under pressure. The correct way is to check fuel pressure with a gauge, barring that, see if fuel is getting to the engine. If not, pump may have quit.
To check ignition, pull off a plug wire and check for spark when cranking. Be careful of shocks, hold wire with a glove or heavy rag, push the rubber boot back to expose the metal end of plug wire, and hold the wire 1/4 inch from a metal piece on the engine. Have a helper crank the car over and observe spark jumping from wire to ground-a good spark is a blue, snapping spark. Good ignition. A weak, inconsistent, or orange spark is a sign of ignition problem, possibly a bad coil, bad ignition module (the TFI module), or other ignition component.
If you have good spark (good ignition), and still unsure of fuel, spray some starting fluid or carburetor cleaner into the air intake and crank the car over. If it runs for a few seconds and dies, you know gas is the problem. The pump has quit or the fuel filter is clogged. You may even want to try this first, cause if it tries to run, you know ignition is good, and gas is not getting to the engine. Good luck.

when you turn the key to the start positoin do you hear the fuel. and do you know if you got any spark?https://www.facebook.com/TedsRepairs link to my garage

Just because it get fuel,but does the fuel injector pulse? Add fuel in the throttle body if it wants to start your problem and solution will resie in bringing the fuel injector to working level

Fuel pressure at idle is normally 30-35psi. Start by taking the gas cap off, and putting it back on. That will De-pressurize the fuel system. Also, make sure you have gas in the car. I have seen gauges on these cars read wrong. I hope this helps.

first, check all the fuses
did you check to see if there's spark at spark plugs?
did you check the fuel pressure? you need to do that to isolate fuel and ignition system.
if there is no fuel then check for fuel pump operation
if there is no spark then check the ignition system (coil, module and wirings)
if you don't have either one then the problem is in the computer system such as crank sensor, and computer itself

Does it crank? Do you have any codes? Check engine light? Do you have spark? No spark check coil, and connections, also it would be nice to know what year it is. Get codes read. No crank check battery and starter. No codes or lights check crank position sensor, make sure your pcm is good after replacing your ignition mod you could have blown it if you did do it right. (engine computer) Check cam sensor if applies. Crank and cam could prevent it from starting and I know one I think cam controls pcm's fuel delivery on gm's
