My 87 N/A died last night and i need help
Well here is the deal.. i was out driving around last night, then i decided to pull into burger king to get some food. I pull in and shut down the car.. no problems.
I come back out from BK and try to start my car, and all it does it putter but it will not start or run. it turns over, i just changed the spark plugs and tried to unflood it... still nothing.
i grabbed a can of starting fluid and sprayed some into the TB, the car immidiately started once i turned the key, then almost instantly died again. This leads me to believe that i have a fuel problem.
Question #1: Where is the fuel pump access panel hidden in the car?
#2: Does this car have a Inertial fuel cutoff switch like my 1991 Probe GT?
#3: How do i test to see if my fuel pump is infact dead?
and #4: If my fuel pump is still good.. where do i check next?

There is a connector inside the engine bay to 'turn on' the fuel pump constantly. Do a search for 'fuel pump connector', that should give you more info. Also, check all fuses in the engine bay.
Is it an NA or turbo car?

turns out it was the circuit for my fuel pump. I did a little further investigation and found that the relay crapped out on me. I just installed a walbro 255 and hooked the pump up to a switched power source, and i put a switch in the line.... incase the car decides to flood on me
