Hello Dave,

Do you hear the fuel pump cycle when the key is turned on?

[turbo cutlass]

yes i hear the pump when i turn the key on

How old is the pump? Do you have a hotwire?

 

[turbo cutlass]

its a sx external fuel pump not old at all maybe 5 month old

 

[TurboBuRick]

Fuel pressure should rise up to around 42 psi when the pump cycles. You sure there is fuel in the tank?

 

[turbo cutlass]

yes i put about 6 gal in the tank

Not sure how you have it wired. You could hotwire it to run..key on no start....and see if it will build psi like that. If not then time to check voltage, electrical connections, plumbing, restrictions, etc

ok thanks i will try that thanks dave

Look for leaks, if none...adjust the regulator. See if someone backed it out too far.
