Need some help here.. a bit of a noob.
So my car starts for 1 to 2 seconds and shuts off
its not rough or anything
but it just cuts out
2000 z24
been reading a few things, heard about the theft system turning it off
troubleshooted that, wasent it
changed the fuel pump relay
wasent it
i can hear the fuel pump turning on
the little whinning noise
so i figure the pump is fine
tryed to get the fuel filter off to swap it, but its the biggest b*tch, so im trying to avoid that.
i disconnected a fuel line at the main motor, its a line where you hold one nut with a wrench, and turn the other.
when it comes loose and you pull it out a bit theres a oring
so i tried turning the car over with that line disconnected
and no fuel is coming out
any ideas?
think its the filter thats clogged?
maybe a sensor?
any help much appriciated.

so i changed the fuel filter
still a no go
and the line that i disconnected in the fuel rail, still has no fuel coming out when i try to start....

any ideas im lost

sounds like a low pressure situation. look for pinched lines/bad pump.
