Add gas, and keep your foot on the gas, to the floor, and roll it over.. should prime up, shortly.
May have someone tap on the fuel pump body with a tappy thing.. you have to burp the air back.. m |

How 'bout you sucked a bunch of shit outta the tank and plugged your fuel filter? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)

That did happen, but only in cases as bad as mine is that generally a big problem.

Your car FI? Cycle the key for 2 seconds at a time until the sound in the fuel system goes away. You don't have vapor lock, you have a lack of fuel. If you have carbs, turn the key on for 15 seconds, pump the pedal once, and start it up ............ The CVap'n
