Car is getting gas but will not start up. Have checked fuel pump and fuel filter and relay switch and all seems to be working. Is there a relay switch or fuse for fuel injectors to pulsate correctly. Car seems that it is not getting gas. How do I determine if fuel injectors are operating correctly or if they are clogged. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Also checked the emergency shut off button in the baggage compartment should the button be up or down, at this time it is down I can not depress button. If it should be up how do you reset the button.

fuel injectors as well as fuel pump relay get their power from the pcm but it also powers fuel pump relay as well as pcm relay. check the room fuse in dash. also to tell if it's a fuel problem spray choke cleaner into throttle body I fit starts its a fuel problem if it doesn't it 's something else. scan for codes if you don't know where get a manual to test yourself.it's on the lh side of firewall and get the codes then go back here an dlook under OBD1 diagnostic codes check yoru fuel pressure at eht fue l rail autoparts rent the gauge

You also need to check for a spark at the spark plug wire. Remove a spark plug wire from the spark plug and lay it on a metal part of the engine. When you spin the engine over a spark should jump from the end of the spark plug wire to the metal part of the engine.
