Fuel problem. first time out ran for an hr now it wont start. have spark will run if i put gas down cylinders. fuel line and rail not plugged.
First time out there was about 1/2 gal of old gas in tank then i added 5 gal. when i pulled the fuel rail with injectors intact then pull the sled over little gas comes out. would this be clogged injectors?

Ok well there is only two things that make a combustion engine run! If you are getting gas to the fuel rail and it has adequate fuel pressure at the rail then you have a spark problem! Pick up a spark tester( looks like a plug wire in a way but has a light ) Plug it into the first plug on the right side of the motor,(# 1 cylinder) and have a friend turn over the motor. There should be positive spark and the light indicator should light as a constant . If it is intermittent in any way than spark is why u will not start. Then on these years I always start with a new coil or coil packs depending on your type of engine! Hope this helps!! Just my opinion and I could be wrong ! Good luck.
The best way to assess the fuel delivery is to connect a pressure gauge to the top of the fuel filter, or in line via a t-piece, and measure the fuel delivery pressure. It should be about 40 psi. If low, change the fuel filter, and recheck.
If still low, it is a faulty fuel pump. If OK by the method shown in the link below (ie with fuel rail disconnected), then check the fuel pressure regulator at the end of the fuel rail.
Another classic cause of hard starting is incorrect ignition timing. If the timing belt is old, it may have jumped a tooth, so check the timing. See the above link, p18
it could also be the fuel pressure regulator or fuel filter that is in line or mabey the fuel injection relay i no it will not start if that blows well i hope this help please give a good rating that you
If you ran out of gas you may need to bleed the injectors for air in the line. You can find the bleeder valve on the fuel Rail. It looks like a tire valve stem. Have someone start or ttry to start the motor over while you hold it down to see if any air is comeing out. Continue to hold untill all the air is out and nothing but fuel is flowing. By this time the engine should be running.
check fuel rail has fuel there is a valve like a tire in the fuel rail push down on it and bleed the air out
if there is no air presure then the filter is full o ****
turn ignition on and off a few times without cranking it turn on for 5 secs then off 4-5 times
Recheck that the spark plug firing order or in other words the spark plug wires are in the proper order after that checks out ok, then run dry gas in the car and check all vacuum hoses there may be a vacuum leak somewhere.
