so the car was running when u bought it?

with the ignition on, just check the leads to the fuel pump with a volt meter. connect the black wire of the voltmeter to a ground on the frame, and touch the red lead to each one of the wires going into the fuel pump. that will tell u if you are gitting power to the pump. ( if you dont have a volt meter, its worth the money to go out and buy one. Some are pretty cheap and its a good tool to have when doing a build)

let me know what you find

I am trying damn hard to just understand what your saying, let alone assess the problem. When you say you can't get the motor to revive gas, WTH does that mean?!? I normally get my motor an extra large bean and cheese burrito with extra guacomole when the gas needs some reviving. boy let me tell you...

Not trying to make fun brother, but more details please. What exactly is going on or not going on?What exactly have you tried that did not work?Make it easier for us to assist you, otherwise this will be just another senseless, random post.

wat i ment was the engine is not receiving any gas!!! my fault on that...

i check the line and the motor and the fuel pump!!! no gas pumps at all!!!im gettin mad... im sure the car was running wen i bought it... it was sumbodys unfinish project and now im stuck!!!

i did the test light on the fuel pump line connection and one of the positive lights up only a lil... the other lights up bright! well wat i did was test light it to see if ther was power and one of the positive on the fuel pump connection was kinda not brighting up... so i thinks dats the problem but i dont kno 4 sure.... let me kno how i can fix dat...
