1987 Chevy El Camino fuel pump and relay

Electrical problem
1987 Chevy El Camino 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 96000 miles

I just replaced the fuel pump. The car still will not start. If I put gas in the throttle body it does start. So, is there any other areas I should be looking at to see why gas is not getting to the throttle body?

Check the fuel pressure and also for injection pulses.

Is it original motor? If it is should have carburetor not throttle body. check and make sure the rod on your motor is pushing the lever of fuel pump. Also check fuel filter.
