Try the ether and see if it is actually a fuel problem. I did not see you mention anything but fuel pump and pressure which means nothing since you are not even sure what it is. You screw the fitting onto the schrader valve and if the gauge works it it'll read pressure which should be about 13 PSI on a throttle body injection system.
Did you even check for spark? You hear the pump but don't check for spark. Interesting troubleshooting procedure.

First of all, I just began getting into this car so I don't appreciate the criticism on my checking of it? Whats with the wise *** remark? If you don't want to help without being overly critical, then don't help because one thing I don't need is a wiseguy on an internet forum whose not in front of me. All I am trying to do is be part of club of enthusiasts who like to offer advice and information like I would do for anyone that is honestly asking a question and not be a jerk in return. I don't even know you and you're throwing somewhat of an attitude? Don't think for one second in a lifetime that I'm gonna take it and deal with a grumpy *******.

Oh and one other thing, you are the idiot that was convinced on the fuel problem with my Lesabre 2 weeks ago, that it was the fuel pump and nothing else. Well, you were dead wrong which I'm not surprised by because Cathedral Club advised the pressure regulator which I changed and problem solved so who should check their knowledge and advice. Don't answer my posts anymore, you're not worth it.

That pressure is the easiest of all systems to test and you can't even tell us for sure what the pressure is or isn't. Why is that? After hearing the pump work why not check for spark? Tell us your diagnostic approach to a no start.

Default Calm down please.

Okay, I'll say it: Everybody calm down.

This is a forum of mechanic types and broken car owners/users/etc.

Mechanic types are typically not politicians or psychologists or preschool teachers that word everything with a sugar coating.

Broken car owners/users/etc. are often not knowledgeable of test procedures and often not good at descriptions of things hence their presence here.

Many shades of gray in-between.

To add to this, Raymond Cocteau hasn't yet risen to power to give us computers that tell us things like:

"You are an incredibly sensitive man, who inspires Joy-Joy feelings in all those around you..."

. . . when we're feeling a bit down.

So again: Everybody calm down.

No direct response to this message is necessary or expected.

Be well.

Back to the issue at hand:

Why no fuel pressure? This needs to be solved. Perhaps other things need to be solved as well. Those need to be discovered and addressed as well. As does this.
