    1996 cavalier and fuel is not getting to fuel injectors. What would be the problem.
    Our car won't start and we have replaced the heads and new plugs. We have changed the oil and filter. Replaced all our gaskets. We are getting fuel to the fuel pump but not to the fuel injectors. We need to know what to do to get the fuel to the injectors?

    90%+ of all crank but won't start situations are electrical-related, not fuel. If you hear the fuel pump run for several seconds, when the ignition switch is turned to ON, the fuel rail is likely getting fuel. If not, turn the ignition switch OFF and turn it on again. After doing this several times, the fuel rail should be fully pressurized. You can test the fuel pressure on the Schrader-type valve on the rail.

    Instead, I would focus on the ignition system. First, check for spark. If none, ensure the Ignition Control Module and coil packs are good. The link below should help:

    Be sure to test all under hood and under dash fuses with a test light or multimeter. Have you checked each cylinder's compression? Did you affect the engine timing in any way? If you still think the problem is fuel-related, change the fuel filter and ensure there's enough gas in the tank.
