Hello everybody
so any way my 1992 GTZ won't start
it cranks over but it won't start it fires on all 4 cylinders(when running)
and it's not getting gas
i think it is the fuel pump
it's not the fuse because when it stopped working I saw that it had blowen the fuel pump fuse so I replaced it then it started but then it dies again and the fuse is still intact I even replaced it again but it didn't help.
also the day before my stupid little brother and one of his stupid little firends went out and decided to drive my GTz even though they coudn't drive a standard
they still did (I was at rugby pratice)
any way they pruned the bag off of it for like a half hour
then put it back so they went and bragged about it and I found out
any way can anyone help me out?

Sounds like you need to take your keys with you. Do you hear the pump running when you turn the key to "on"? Can you check to see if the fuse has power going to it(also with the key on)? Wow Funk, looks like you started a fire that may be out of control.

Sux when you need help and the people who can give it to you are the ones you called a bunch of names and told their country sucked , doesn't it? That whole "burning bridges" thing.... MPB, you got a big heart bro. Props.

Yea, it's all just lines on a map to me guys. There is good and bad about both. Back to the topic: Funk there is a need for as much info as you can give. From what I have read there is a in-line fuse,20amp on a orange wire(not sure where). That's why I asked about the one in the fuse box, get back as soon as you know. There is also a relay. How is the oil pressure when you try to start? Does the fuel gage work?

oil pressure is thru the roof and there is power to the fuel pump
I used a 20 amp
oh and the guy that had it first was dumber then me
he bypassed the neutral safety start so well I don't know if that would affect it
and also above the TB there is a little box with some wires and 2 tubes going to it and the bottom tube has a screw in it if that helps???

Yes Funk, the safety switch could be it. You should be able to bypass the switch and start in any gear(not a good thing, but you can try it). On the TB those are vac lines(shouldn't have anything to do with starting), it would be best if you look around to see what's not hooked up. Get back to me if you can't find where it should go(low on time right now to look it up). Not sure why the oil pressure is so high. Are you running 5w30? If you do get it started, don't drive with it that high.

Don't add a higher amp fuse! you'll cause more problems that you have, like melted wiring and the like. since the pump is running with the heavier fuse and the one in there was popped I would say that you need  a new pump. the pump bushings are probably gone, causing more friction and a heavier load in the motor. that means it'll draw more current and pop the fuse. put  a new original amp fuse in and see what happens. if it pops then check the wiring to the pump and if thats ok replace the pump.
