so lately i think i have been having a bit of bad luck. a cpl of weeks ago my car overheated and my radiator was shot. i finally saved up enough money to buy one so yesterday i picked one up from a local parts store, install it without a problem. i go driving around town and it is running great. i go home and take a shower, come out and it is funny starting up, i needed to give it some gas. anyway i drive up my street and turn onto a hill and i notice its cutting out on me then it stalled. it would not start back up so i roll down a hill and i had to leave it there overnight. today i got the car home by using tow straps which were 32.00 lol. now i see i need to put in a fuel pump. so i fix a problem and right after another one starts:evil:

pretty sure its fuel pump, I didn't hear a buzz when he tried starting it and with starting fluid sprayed in the TB it ran for a split second, so it's not getting fuel.

Well I am not 100% on 96s but 95s if the security thing is tripped you lose fuel. I think.

yes i do believe you are correct. could be a vats issue. does the security light turn on when the car doesn't start?
