check to see if it come unplugged from the lead by the tank.See if you can borrow a fuel pressure guage from somewhere or buy one-there are inexpensive ones.It should be up to pressure when cranking (probably around 60 psi)You should be able to hear the pump run the first second or so when turning on the key-no sound means no pump-hopefully it's ok and it just came unplugged-let us know what happens.........

Smoke out of the throttle body??? Was it smoke, or fuel vapor?

You know-people are trying to help you and you are laughing and yawning at their suggestions-and then you ask if the EGR will be the problem-to a professional mechanic such as myself- that IS hilarious.If you don't have a clue what you are doing and are going to have a bad attitude about the help you get then call a tow truck and pay somebody to fix your mistakes -because I can see from here what the problem is.

Another serious note-the spark from a modern ignition system is strong enough to kill someone-it can stop your heart. ^ which would make you stop screaming....obviously he's trying to be entertaining-I'll be entertained if his car is still broke-lol

Arrest Me Red/T-Tops- 1995 Chevrolet Camaro Z28
Update:
Had it towed to Tuffy, said that only one cylinder was firing up due to excessive gas in the intake...
They want $1400 to change all plugs, wires, water pump (even though I havent seen any leaks and no overheating, what a lie, just changed the water pump at Pep Boys 2 years ago) cap and rotor, oil change and whatever...
My plan is to just change the plugs myself and maybe the cap and rotor...
He stated the coil was firing fine and plenty of gas coming out of the shrader valve...
1 out of 8 cylinders due to being gas saturated spark plugs?
Please help me with my dilemna...
They said they cant scan the car, due to it not starting up...
Are they trying to take me for $1400?
Will replacing the "gas soaked" plugs and cap and rotor get it started?
Wont the gas evaporate in the intake after a while?
I have no problem replacing the plugs....

We would all do that for that price immediately,
whether we needed it or not....
Answer your question, chief?
If you were serious, or kidding, an absolute moronic statement...

That's enough with the insults, guys. If you can't keep it civil then don't be surprised when warnings are handed out and the thread gets closed.
