down for a year or so I went to crank it an it ran for
about 20 secs or so then shut off. When I turned it
back own I do not here the fuel pump cut on. I
didn't think it was the pump but I pulled it an
replaced the whole unit. Sending unit and pump.

an yes..i checked the fuse an it's fine but for shots
an giggles I replaced that to but to no luck. What

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?
