Well, I'm getting ZERO fuel to my filter/injectors and I'm wondering if someone can give me a run down on what I should start doing to trouble shoot it. The fuel system from what I can tell isn't too complicated, but I still can't figure out why it's not pumping fuel.

I've tried three different fuel pumps. Well, let me back up a little bit and explain what my problem was. I was a dumb ass and left the cap to the fuel tank off and the gas door was open and I got water in the tank. This was during the winter time and I'm pretty sure the water froze in the lines because there was white chrystaly stuff oozing out when it warmed up. So in other words, I think it melted and what I was seeing was slushy ice.

Since then i've dropped the tank, completely emptied it and filled it with some medium grade gas and some dry-gas (water removal solution), and checked to make sure I was getting power to the pump. Everything I know of has been checked, i.e; Fuses, fuel Lines, fuel pump, electrical to the fuel pump.

The ONLY thing I can possibly think of is that this system may have a fuel saftey cut off switch. Other than that, I've tried everything I know to try.

Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

are you sure that the fuel pump works?

you said you checked for power but did not say if you found any. if there is no power i had this same kinda problem and most likley can help you solve it...

you could always take a gas line loose and aim it at a gas can. turn the key over and see if any comes out. just a thought.

You say that pump doesn't work...but does everything else work, ie interior lights, dash, pop up headlights, engine crank over. If not the safety switch in the fuse panel may be the culprit, and it therefore may have to be bypassed...8)
