QuestionQUESTION: I have a 1994 Cadillac Eldorado that cranks but will not start. The fuel pump energizes when the key is turned on and there is gas although the information center says low gas. Help!
ANSWER: Do you have spark to the spark plugs when you crank the engine ?. If you DO, Try spraying a little starting fluid into the air cleaner and see if the engine will TRY and start and let me know.

QUESTION: Sorry it has taken me so long to follow up but I had to go abroad for a while and am now back home with the same problem. I day spray starter fluid in and it cranked right up and ran until the starter fluid dissipated. So that leads me to believe that it is starving for gas. Where do I go from here? Thanks
Answer1. Get yourself a helper and remove the gas cap.
2. Turn ON the ignition switch to the point where all the dash lights illuminate but do NOT try and start the engine.
3. Have your helper listen at the gas cap opening and as soon as you turn the ignition switch ON, Your helper should hear the electric fuel pump in the fuel tank run for 2 seconds and then stop.
4. Does it ?.
