i just bought a 81 cabby and its been sitting for a few years,4-5.the engine turns over fine,but no fuel is at any of the fuel lines.its a gas F.I..i filled the tank w/ freash fuel,and cracked the inj lines hoping to see fuel going to the injectors,but none.--any help? what am i doing wrong? i have never owned one of these and have no manual.i hate to part/scrap the car,its not that bad,thanks guys!

1) clogged fuel filter
2) bad fuel pump fuse
3) bad fuel pump relay
4) bad fuel pump
5) bad fuel pressure regulator
6) varnished/clogged/munged up injectors
7) bad ECU (no signal to injectors)

If you can't hear the fuel pump running - then I'd suspect #2,3 or 4.

You can jumper around the fuel pump relay - but I cannot recall the exact configuration -

If you can hear the fuel pump but arent' getting fuel then check 1,5,6

If the fuel pump turns on initially (for a couple seconds) but doesn't come on when you're cranking (this is tough to diagnose by yourself - some one else listening for the pump OR a test light hooked up so it turns on when current is coming to the pump) would suggest a bad feed from the ECU (i believe that the fuel pumps come on initially then on when they receive a signal indiciating that the ignition is working - to prevent flooding). This could be a bad hal sensor, a bad ECU or something I haven't run into being wrong -
