fuel problem

my car wont start.i thought i had a bad filter so i changed it. when i turn the key forward the pump pressurizes but when i check for pressure by pushing down the little valve on the fuel rail it squirts and stops nothing comes out afterwards. i turn the key back then forward again and the same thing. what does that mean?it shooting trouble codes 33 34 ? but i just bought a new maf sensor what is the deal??????????

I have the same thing wrong. I hooked up a pressure guage and read around 40 psi. Could you have good fuel pressure and still have a bad pump, or filter?????

Take a fuel pressure gauge and check fuel pressure, if its really low then a new fuel pump is order. Im having to do that right now, my fuel pump will pressurize and bleed off quickly. Replacing it tomorrow, yippee.
