Answer
Hi Ryan, The first thing to do is disconnect the temp sensor for the computer (not the one for the dash). This will tell the computer that the engine temp is -30 deg. Now the computer will send a lot of gas to the engine. I want you to do this because if the temp sensor is bad and telling the computer that the engine is very hot, only a tiny bit of fuel will come out and this will not be enough to start the engine. If it starts with it disconnected then get a new sensor.

Let me know what happens
