What am I missing? Turn the key and I can hear the fuel pump run then stop. Turn key to start and the engine cranks. Broke the lines in the engine bay. Crank the engine and no fuel comes out the hoses. Blocked line between pump and engine bay?
If I spray some start fluid in the air box the engine fires right up. This is my new project car. Just drove it home last week. |

No fuel at all ...mmm...after pump : maybe clogged up fuelfilter. Could also be fuelpump itself ofcourse.
If there is no fuel on the pumpside (before pumpaction) maybe kinked fuel hose under the tank or the filter in the tank is clogged) |

Does the pump run until it gets pressure? I'm thinking if it's clogged then the pump runs and stops for that. |
