What does it mean when... fuel related question
 

What does it mean when you have no fuel pass the the engine bay fuel filter?... the filter only has about 6k miles on it. it shouldn't be bad.. i have fuel in the fuel lines at the fuel pump.. but no fuel on my plugs...its odd.. they smell of oil but not fuel.. car cranks ok... battery is fine.
its a 91 n/a FC...

just to make sure, you are saying you are getting now fuel past the filter?

sorry it wasn't too clear
I am NOT getting any fuel at all to the engine. grr its iratating at times .. figuring whats wrong..

pull the pump out and inspect the sock, tank, pump itself, etc. work from pump forward.

wait....you have gas in the lines but not past the filter? If the filter on backwards?

mm i did pull the filter off. and check and saw if it was clogged or not.. it could be possible i put it on backwards. i'll have to check and see... tomorrow..

that' the only thing I can think of.....if you have fuel in the lines (pump is good) b ut not past the filter.....hope that's it.

thats the only thing possible inless there is something stuck in the line.

Is the fuel pump getting voltage?
The ENGINE fuse tends to blow sometimes, and this will prevent the fuel pump from turning on.

UPDATE:

- Fuel filter is on the right way with 'OUT' facing toward the engine.
- the Engine fuse on the drivers side panel is ok
- there is continuity between a - c on the fuel pump connector, according to FSM pg.
F1-52 bottom of page under there fuel and exhaust section.

Fuel pump working?
Pull the fuel line prior to the fuel filter...
Does it shoot fuel when you crank?

nah there is nothing coming out !! its werid ?!

It's not weird...it's either dead, clogged or not getting enough voltage.

EPIC FUEL PUMP FAILURE... !!! where is a good place to find one at a reasonable price ?
walbro kicks out too much fuel from what folks have tould me..

Get a good, used stock one.
Check out the classifieds or post a wanted ad.
Can't beat the stock unit for relibility, even though yours died. :(
