carb. or TBI ? Does it stay running once you get it going ? Look down the CARB. engine off ! and accelerate by hand there should be a squirt of gas from the side of the barrel , thats the accelerator pump ,once it's running a good flow of gas should be pouring into the barrel . you may need a rebuilt carb. don't buy rebuilt crap from auto zoo I don't think anybody can even spell carburetor these days .. When you hit the key do you hear the fuel pump prime the system ? (WHIIRRIR) on the TBI ? There may be 2 fuel pump relays or check the fuel pump for power and a good ground .

thank you for responding back. No there isn't no gas squirting from the side of the carb. But the fuel pump is coming on and everything
