Default 1990 c4 fuel problem

we recently had a bad rain storm up in Boston, after the rain the car ran rough, now when I go to start it the fuel pump relay does not sound and it is not getting any fuel. I am questioning the ECM may of gotten wet due to it's location, or is it possible that the fuel pump shut down some how? or that water may have gotten into the tank?
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Frank

What year Vette???

It's not likely that water got into the tank if the cap was on tightly and the drain is not clogged.

Let it dry off and try again.

Start with the basics. Verify that you are getting fuel. Take the cover off of the schrader valve, with the ignition turned on, use a screwdriver tip or more ideally connect a fuel pressure guage and see that there is fuel at the schrader valve.

If you need more help please don't hesitate to contact me.

Mike.

Thank you I will try that. The fuel pump usually makes some sort of sound when I turn on the key, now it is not. Is there a fuse for the pump? Thanks
