1986 nova gets no fuel
I have a 1986 nova that I thought the fuel pump was out on. I replaced
the fuel pump and still wont run unless you put gas in the carb. I have tried to blow thru the feed line from the fuel tank with compressed air and have tried sucking on the line. No fuel and you cant blow or suck thru it. Is there another fuel pump that feeds the mechanical one? I cant believe the lines could be so clogged that compressed air wont blow thru it. Any ideas? No fuel at the pump or fuel filter. Thanks |

I have seen fuel lines that were completely plugged. Not very often, however. AFAIK, it is not normal to have both an electrical fuel pump and a mechanical one on unmodified production cars. You may end up having to drop the tank and check the condition of the innards. Pickup may have fouled or even dropped off. |
