Ok so heres the deal
i just swapped a b16a2 into my 94 coupe and im trying to figure out why its not getting gas
ive checked plugs, grounds, injectors, hoses and im coming up with nothing
it will run if i spry starter fluid into it but then dies after it runs out
fuel pump is coming on too
now the bad part
i bought the car off of a lazy friend who let the car **** for 3 years roughly and he left gas inside of it
ive empied most of it but i think there may have been more in the lines
i have filled the tank with good gas tho

check fuel filter.... probably gunna swap it if havnt already... bc that old gas can be nasty stuff..

is there a way that gas can be drained out of the engine

yea, take the plugs out and leave it open for a while...if the engine has sat for a while, make sure you do the normal start up stuff. Honestly, disconnect the fuel filter, have someone turn on the pump and see what comes out of the line.

ive taken of the fuel filter already and done thats it good gas coming out now

so you mean drain the gas out of the rail...just take the rail off, be careful of the injector clips...is that what you mean?

A little seafoam in the gas should take care of any remaining bad gas. My friend bought a crx that was sitting for like 6 years at a car audio show floor. What he had to do was remove the injectors (probably electrically fine), remove the o-rings and soak the injectors in fresh gasoline overnight to unclog them.

Are you sure your injectors are good? None of them are shorted?
