Engine Performance problem
1997 Cadillac Deville V8 Front Wheel Drive Automatic

the car will start, but takes a while sometimes, but will not stay running, will start with ether or rag soaked in gas, but will only run until the fuel is gone then dies, checked for fuel at the motor and when the key is first turned on it will squirt out at first, so i no its getting fuel but dont no the pressure or anything. was wondering if it could b the fuel pump, pressure reg., or the fuel filter. the gas that comes out is clean lookin from what i can see.... please help this is for a friend that has been using my vehicle so the sooner he gets his running the sooner i get my truck back!! lol

Get a fuel pressure tester or rent it and check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter and fuel pump
