[nhelean]

ok so here's the deal i have a 1995 ford escort with a 1.9L auto. this thing is having a starting problem here are things i have checked and symptoms.
fuel pressure when not-running-40psi fuel pressure when i get it running-30psi disconected fuel pressure regulator vacume hose and jump's to 40 psi then when pluged back in goe's back to 30 psi so obviosly reg. is working fuel pressure appears to be good in both non/running. put new plug's/wire's and it does have spark, checked all grounds on vehichle,fuse's,relay's and battery connection's, replaced complete ignition. pulled throttle-body and diss-assembled/cleaned throttle-body and ran cleaner thru it when running to make sure injector's/intake were clean, ran lucas cleaner thru tank. this thing will runn perfect if i start it with starting fluid. timing is dead on. please help any sugestions would be greatly appretiated. computer shows no code's. thanks -nick

check ur maf sensor unplug it then try to start it ,go to the rear corner inside the car under the rear right speaker theres a fuel cutoof switch just push it then crank over and then pull it back up thats worked for me under simmular conditions ,check fuel injection fuse in fuse box by the batt thats a good posibility ,pull fuel rail then crank over to check for injectors are working,try cleaning fuel filter its on the firewall behind throttle body ,fuel rail could have come loose . try that stuff the pm back u will get it process of elemination man it always works .heres what my 1.9 looked like before i put the gt motor in .

i'v done all of that already and no differance, this thing now only seams to start with starting fluid or with a battery jumper on it. i have already checked ground's and power to starter/alternator, and replaced battery. new terminal's, cleaned all ground's i could find, new fuel pump,regulator,coolant switch,coolant temp,cacuum line's,pcv valve,fuel filter,iac,vacuum regulator's/control's........anything else would be appretiated.... ohh and replaced ignition/switch, fuel pump relay.

What fuel pressure are you supposed to have?
Could it be that 30 is too low?
On my bronco it is supposed to be 35 psi
