Yes, just under the plastic cover and the valve is on the driver's side. If you get pressure here, it should eliminate the need to look at the fuel pump because you'll know the pump is getting fuel to the engine.Originally Posted by evillecutter

Oh hell, now I'm confused...but I do think your timing is off due to a slipped belt. All it takes is one hesitation (read backfire) because of a worn belt and it can throw it off a cog or two. Seen it, been there, done that...

Scott, i am guessing broken belt or bad tensioner. My belt is way over due...148000. But it is getting changed in about a week. Parts get ordered Monday
Super VXer
Wow, Billy, you've been tempting fate haven't you? My '01 had 150,000 on it's original belt but it was 2 years newer and I changed it 2 years ago. I'm bettin' you're a "glass half full" kinda guy...

first off thanks everyone for all the help - gonna check a few things off the list today and see what i come up with - first gonna check all fuses and relays then look into vxorado's suggestion of the checking that valve for pressure, then going on to fuel pump, then on to tensioner and/or belt if none of those help - ill let you know how it goes

what the heck is this and where does it go?
Super VXer
That's the fuel gauge sending unit, it goes in the tank.

fuses all look good but getting no fuel from the valve on the fuel rail - gonna start with the fuel pump and go from there...

Alright, let me see if I can get this right this time.... I can't remember if you changed the fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator, or not, but I would actually start there first. Both of them are inexpensive, easy to replace, parts so I would go that route before dropping the gas tank to get to the fuel pump.
If you have replaced those two things then the fuel pump would be the next in line (unless the fuel lines themselves are clogged).

yes replaced fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, idle controle valve, throttle position sensor, and new plugs all less than 6 months ago - small fuse was good going to fuel pump going to relplace the fuel pump relay switch and if that doesnt work im dropping the gas tank and replacing the fuel pump - if that doesnt work im gonna look at the timing belt - when i checked the valve on the fuel rail there was no pressure whatsoever so im hoping its just the relay or fuel pump - any suggestions on how to drop a 90%full gas tank?

I'll assume that the ign was ON when you checked the schrader valve?..
Siphon as much petrol as possible into gas cans before you drop it.
NO SMOKING!!!
