Carb cleaner in the air intake causes engine to spudder. Car wont start when turning over. Any ideas where to start looking?
 
What do you mean sputter? Will it run on carb cleaner or not?

Start with actually confirming the three components for combustion.

Are you getting fuel and to where?
 
i will test again with carb cleaner when i have someone to help me. I just unscrewed the output side of the fuel filter and gas is coming out.

Not a valid test unless you just want to smell gas. Use a fuel pressure gauge.

If it will run on spray cleaner it's not getting the gas it needs.
 
Pulled a fuel injector and cranked the key. No fuel spray. This is the mechanical injection motor. It must be between the injectors and the fuel distributor. Any thoughts?
