Default car wont start



ok i had just finished my s2k antenna install and had my car running just at idle in neutral when it died. i thought it was just the batt. but it wasn't, im thinking something in the fuel line because it will crank and turn over just no start... when it turned off it was like i had run out of gas but i have a 1/4 of a tank. i also checked fuses and checked everything i could think of but im stuck. please help me
PLEASE i am supposed to go pick up my tranny tomorrow night but i wont be able to with my piece of **** car not running....i guess this is what i get for helping my friend work on his car all day its like i have reverse karma

this may sound rediculous but how can i check if its priming? i dont think that there is any fuel getting to the motor-basically no combustion..
