Ok I just took out the new injectors and it still does not work. There seems to be getting fuel since it poured out on me. Now I don't know how much should be coming out, so I will check the fuel pump again. The wires/connectors to the pump are pretty self explainitory theres only one way it will go in.

with the issues I listed in my other post, you will still get fuel to the rail but it wont be at a high enough pressure to provide enough fuel for your car to start. Most important thing to check is where the pump outlet meets the fuel sending unit. Make sure the rubber sleeve is not ripped, and is correctly seated on the pump.

ya put the pump back togther just how it came and still nothing. I just tried. it does the same thing. The car trys to start like the MAF sensor is not hooked up, which it is. if you know what I am talking about. I may just tow it to the shop and spend my tune money on getting the car fixed. This sucks.
Okay..let's make this simple. 2 things to start a car.
1. Fuel --which you claim you have. But is it getting in the cylinders. Plugs wet or dry?
2. Spark--??
Figure this 2 out and let us know.
Do you have SES light up when key is in the "ON" position?

yes I get the SES light, I unscrewed the 2 bolts that hold on the fuel rail and had my wife start the car. I saw gas spilling out, so there is gas getting to the cyclinders. I have checked the O rings and the other rubber pieces that go into the block. they are all ok.
Spark seems to be fine. spark plugs are a relativley clean and do not smell of gas.

Something electrical.
Go back track everything you did and re-check all fuses and connectors that inhibit injectors from pulsing.

so where is the fuse that controls the injectors. I will go out and check right now if someone can tell me where it is. The only fuse right off hand that I can think of is the engine control fuse in the engine compartment. But that may go to the computer. So someone tell me where the fuse of whatever controls the injectors.
You may be right.

OK, brought the car to the shop and they checked everything I checked before and this is what they told me a while ago. They are at the last thing they can do basically. They are taking the car to the Mitsu delaership cause they THINK the key code was erased due to my changing out the fuel pump and injectors. Don't ask me how but that's what they said.
