Default How do you know when your engine isn't getting fuel?

I just put a B16A1 into my EG and I burned 1/2 tank of gas in less than 60 miles, come to find out a hose on the intake manifold wasn't connected. I reconnected it and filled up to day to test out my MPG. But the wierd thing is when I turn the key to II(or on) and the cluster lights come on, there is no beeping noise like there used to be. Why is that? When I am at a stand still and launch, it takes a second for the car to really respond like it should. I am running my factory fuel pump with a 2000 Civic SI fuel feed line. What is the problem? What should I do?

get a rich/lean gauge. That will tell you where to go. You need one anyway if your going to mod the car.

It does smell like gas, but it is not getting enough. I was told I was running lean. I have my DX MAP sensor hooked up to the motor, so what is the problem?
