so it does crank ? are you always using the same key ? is the injector working ? does the fuel pump have a good ground ?does it get spark ? if it sat for a year mice can move in and pick their teeth with wire insulation , start with the basics

Yes...everything is working but fuel. It's not getting any. It ran when I started it but shut off an since the fuel pump is not cutting on. If mice started crewing it would it have started the first time?
