Default i have a 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier 2.2L SFI

i have a 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier 2.2L SFI OHV 4cyl. it will start but wont stay running. i have checked for codes and there is none. you can hear the fuel pump and change the fuel filter. i have psi at the injectors. i also pulled them and checked them. all 4 are firing. i have checked number 1 for spark and it has spark. only way to get the car to run is to pump the gas pedal. but still runs bad. i can get it to rev to about 3k and hold for a few sec's then it wants to die.

Check your fuel pressure. Sounds like it may be low. Just having fuel is not enough, it has to be at the correct pressure.

This sounds like a sensor issue causing your problem.

When was your last tune up?
