89 sunfire won’t start

Okay Gang,



I have an ?89 Sunfire 2.0 that will not start.



Yes, it gets spark. The ol? screwdriver in the ignition wire told me that.



It does run if I spray starter fluid in, but instantly dies.



Fuses are all good.



I hear the buzz from the fuel pump as I turn the ignition key.



Yes it?s getting fuel to the injector unit. I disconnected the fuel line, and gas ran out as I was cranking.



My question is:



When I first unthreadded the gas line nut, I expected the gas to spurt out. . .it didn?t.



Instead, gas just dribbled out, it poured out as I was cranking.



Can this be a fuel pump pressure issue?



Thanks,



S.


get a fuel pressure gauge and check pressure,not sure what it calls for.did you change fuel filter?
