The starter will turn over just fine. I've tried a few things and am now stumped. When I spray starting fluid in the air cleaner it will burn that like the engine is starting until it all burns up then it will die so I think it's a fuel problem. I hear the fuel pump working when I turn the key. I replaced the fuel filter but I don't think that was the problem (I could blow air thru the old filter without much resistance). Please help, Thanks.

Need to check fuel pressure with gauge to be sure. If pressure checks good ten maybe a problem with injectors. Is check engine light on?
