Default b18a1 in 90 not gettin fuel, help!

Just swapped a b18a1 in a 90 hatch and its not getting any fuel at all to the fuel lines or even the filter, just replaced filter and main relay. You can hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the key. What else could the problem be?? Car starts right up when you spray starter fluid, just isnt getting gas... help need to fix this

seems like a injector problem.
Check to see if fuel gets to the rail?

if it don't get the the filter then check the pump.
pump prime doesn't mean it's sucking gas to the line.

RAN OUT OF GAS?????

just replace it while you are at it.
it's about time to replace a 15 year old pump.

oh one more... don't forget to replace that filter bag ( whatever that call ) at the end of the pump.
maybe that is clog up.

Do you have and CELs...did you just do this swap and not hook something up correctly? Grounds are a big deal with this, but like stated above it does sound like a pump, so replace the pump and if it doesnt work, then come, cuz theres many things that could be wrong still! Good Luck
