Ok, finally got my a/c elim installed, but now the car won't start. It'll turn and turn but not even try.

Sorta. My dad sprayed some starter fluid in there and it tried a little harder. So here's my question. Bad gas or bad fuel filter?

Neither. If it ran fine before the A/C elim, then it's something else. You popped a fuse, hit the inertia switch, etc.

It's not the inertia switch, that was the first thing I checked. We're checking the fuel filter, now.

Ok, it trying to start by burning off the starting fluid. Basically, it starts for about a quarter second the shuts off when the starter fluid is gone. I replaced the fuel filter this morning and there's fuel pressure.

Contaminated gas, maybe? There's just over 3 gallons of gas in the tank, maybe there's too much Sta-bil and fuel injector cleaner.

(Sorry about the double post, need my car running so I can get a job. )
