When you chaged the air filter & sprayed Gumout carb cleaner, you got rid of a little gunk in the air intake, but when you added the fuel injector cleaner (its the same stuff as carburator cleaner) to the fuel tank, you "cleaned out" ALL the ****/gunk/buildup/dirt in the fuel system which has built up since 1991 and sent it straight to the fuel filter, which is now clogged. The reason that the car tries to start, but fails, is that it'll successfully burn up any fuel that gets past the clogged fuel filter, but the engine consumes that small amount of gasoline quickly, then dies. Your solution: change the fuel filter. The fuel filter is located: Under vehicle, driver side, below seating area, near fuel tank, mounted on frame rail in fuel line
switch in tranny needs adjustment or replacement. Try grounding the wire to the trans and see if the light will come on. If yes, you know it's the switch.
It needs the choke which means it has too little fuel. So the first thing is to run some carb. cleaner through it. If you can remove the air cleaner and spray cleaner into the carb. directly to help it clean. Add the cleaner to the fuel tank by following the direction. Too much will not work better thenwhat is suggested. Gasoline tends to evaporate and leave a varnish like hard coating on the fuel system. Takes a while to clean back out. Store all gas powered motors using a stabilizer product, or completely remove the gas before storage.
your carbi will need a clean first and tune as well . air filters will need cleaning to allow full air intake .
Make sure to have clean spark plugs too
Take one of the plugs out and hold it against the head while the engine cranks. You should get decent spark. If not, you have an ignition problem. If it gets decent spark, try spraying some starting fluid into the air cleaner box. If the engine starts up and runs for a couple seconds, you have a fuel delivery problem.
poss. is fuel pressure reg. problem. put a guage on the test port and check press. should be above 35psi. see if it stays running when you spray choke cleaner in the pcv valve steadily while starting. if the engine stays running after a few seconds of running on choke cleaner then probably a bad fuel pump relay cause the oil pressure switch will keep the pump on without the relay when it has good oil pressure.
let me know if ya can do this or if it helps.
