Default Fuel Question

Have an '82 collector addition. Just won't start. Acts like it's starved for fuel. I've got plenty of fire and a new fuel filter.Anyone have any ideas???????????

Do you hear the fuel pump turn on when you turn the key to the ignition position? It should run for a sec or two then shut off.

You should hear the fuel pump running in the gas tank when you turn the key on. If not, track down the fuse for it in the fuse block. There may also be a shut-off switch that cuts power to the fuel pump in case of an accident, that may have been tripped somehow. These are just standard fuel injection troubleshooting tips, I'm sure someone who has this model will shed more light.
