Re: 87 chevy not gettin gas

fuel pump or filter maybe. I'd change the filter and see if the lines are clear, if not then fuel pump. Also is there gas in the tank? maybe the gauge aint working right or somebody could have drained it?

Re: 87 chevy not gettin gas

when your turn the key can you here the pump whine? if not you can hit the tank with a hammer and you might get it to start and move it to where you can R&R the pump. also have you checked the fuel pump relay? it could be bad.

Re: 87 chevy not gettin gas

no cant hear anything when the key is on no buzzer or anything but underneath the center of the steering wheel that cover pops off and if i touch that spring to the metal the pump will turn on but thats it
