84 Crossfire will not start
Long time reader, first time poster.
My 84 Crossfire will not start. I started it last Saturday to pull out of the garage, it started rough, needed to rev it to keep it going. I got it out of the garage to clean the garage.
Went to back it back in, tried to start but just wont fire.
Battery is new
Getting Spark- Replaced plugs and wires in 2020 and now just replaced Cap, Rotor and Ignition Control Module.
Getting Fuel- Both injectors are spraying. Has an aftermarket Fuel cell and fuel pump. Pump is working. New Fuel Filter on order (don't know if it has ever been changed)
Tried spraying some starter fluid in the Throttle Bottle, nothing. I do not know what the deal is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Interesting the starter fluid did nothing if you have spark... just for comparison sake, you have visual injector pulses but can you confirm fuel pressure? The hose in my tank on the pump failed and still left enough flow to make the injectors spray just not enough to run.

Just pop out the filter and put a T in for a minute or two. Won't hurt anything. I made a tester for between the throttle bodies using IF adapters and a pressure test port but that was for a different reason.

Not for nothing, but how long did car sit? You sure its fuel spraying and not water? Only thing that makes sense as starting fluid usually will get diluted and not fire the engine up if its mixed with water.
