Exclamation Car wont start!

Hey guys, have some issues with the car. Went to my dad's house saturday night, on the way back I stopped to get some gas. Tried to turn it on and nothing!!

Fuel pump is working because I can hear it, but for some reason I'm not getting any fuel :dunno. I was on the phone with (86er) and checked all the fuses and nothing.

Tried putting some started fluid and it worked but died after 5 seconds.

When I try to start it for the after putting gas I turned the key all the way with out letting the pump cycle first:sorry.

Fuel pump, filter and inj have around 2k miles.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks guys!

not to be dumb, but have you tried pushing the schrader valve down on the rails to see if they are actually getting fuel pressure?

I'm gonna try that today.

I think somehow the Gates hose got disconnected, there is couple guys that had the same thing happened.

Did not wanna drop the tank lol, but looks like gonna do it tomorrow.

if you have no fuel pressure at the rails, the pump is not working.

Found the problem guys, the Gates hose somehow got disconnected. I went ahead and change the gasket on the tank it was leaking.
