Fuel issue

Hey guys looking for some help. I've changed the fuel pump and have good pressure to the fuel rails. Car turns over but won't start. Pulled a spark plug and she's dry as a fart. Checked all fues's and they are all good and power to all. Any suggestions?

Check for spark at the plugs. Injectors will not pulse without ignition.

Thanks. She's running now. Not sure what the issue was. Have the c4 surge at idle but should be able to get rid of that.

When starting a thread, you really need to state what year it is. Ignition systems, fuel and electrical configuration varies greatly across the C4 line of cars. Your answers won't be accurate without knowing the year.

If I had to make a guess on your surging problem for your 85, they are known to have bad fuel injectors. Those injectors from those years gave runability problems. New injectors usually make those cars run like new from what I hear.
