    89 CRX fires won't run?
    I am working on a friends 89 CRX. Initially the starter went out but in the course of replacing it I found the ground wire had burned off the battery to core support and the valve cover to the core support. I replaced these wires. Now the car fires but will not start. The fuel pump has 60 lbs of pressure. The fuel pump will prime the rail, the car will fire but will not run. If you spray fuel in to the snorkel the car will run.
    Any ideas?

    How long did the car sit before the starter was replaced?
    If it sat too long, the injectors may be stuck closed. Read: no fuel for the plugs to fire.

    The Engine Control Module (ECM) controls the injectors firing. Make certain that any connections underhood are clean and tight. Check all the fuses to make certain none got inadvertently burned during the electrical issue.

    The car was down about 6 hours after the starter went. I've checked all the fuses and wires. I know I have fuel at the rail. I am going to check if it is making it to the injectors.

    Check for codes. See if a Code 20 (ELD) or any others were thrown.
