Cadillac Repair: 87 deville wont start, bleeder valve, firing on all cylinders

Question
i havea 1987 deville with the 252 4.1 liter V8. the car was running fine the it started making a continuous clicking sound while running that was loud enough to hear when you were in the car. then the next day the car wouldnt start at all. i replaced the plugs and used a spark plug tester to check for spark and it was firing on all cylinders. i can hear the fuel pump powering on and i am getting gas out of the bleeder valve on the fuel line where it goes into the throttle body. however, i do not know how much pressure it is giving out. regardless, the car is getting gas and spark but still wont spark. could this have something to do with the clicking sound it was making and if so what would that sound have been? thanks, josh

Did you check your computer for fault CODES.



1. Ignition ON. Engine OFF.

2. Simultaneously push the OFF and WARMER buttons until the whole display illiminates and release the buttons.

3. Diagnostic CODES will start to appear.

4. Write them down in the order in which they appaer EXACTLY as they appear even if they appear 2 or 3 times.

5. The codes will stop when you see .7.0.

6. Let me know what the codes are.

7. turn ignition OFF.
