no it has the stock SI wiring on it. the car turns over but wont start. it has spark and everything. i check the fuel line that goes to the fuel filter and it's hella dry, and when i turn on the car there's no fuel going trough it. when i put the key in ignition i can hear the fuel pump turn on for about 2seconds and shutsdown. but still not getting fuel. and i already changed the main relay. and still nothing.

Do you have gas in the car? That would be the first thing I would check. And if so then check to make shure there isnt a clog somewhere. I would think if the car has sat for that long with the lines open, you might have a clog somewhere.

Well. If you can hear the fuel pump turn on then Its not the pump. Like I said check all the fuel line from the motor to the pump to see if there is a clog somwhere.

i finally got it to start, i changed the fuel pump and it started right up. when i took it out, the filter on the pump was off. maybe that's reason. but thanks for the advice..
