Yes I have a 1993 firebird and the car stopped on the way home I tested spark it was fine, then checked for fuel flow at the rail no fuel, this led me to the fuel filter I then replaced the filter but I still do not get fuel flow to the engine, I can hear the fuel pump cycle on with the ignition but then stop after a few seconds. Took the pump out the screens are clean but the flex hose to the pump was broken in half I replaced that, still no fuel to the fuel filter. Any ideas

Still no fuel pressure-you sure you hook the hoses back correctly if so replace the fuel pump

I disconnected it at the fuel filter to see if fuel would flow through the line still nothing. I thought the line may be clogged took it out blew it out hooked back up nothing. Can the fuel pump actually cycle and not send fuel out the line?
