My engine turns over but no fuel mist enters throttle body (carb). I cracked open fuel lines at the back of the carb and turn over engine and fuel is present. Re-tighten lines and turn over again but no mist at TB injectors.( Into carb ). During all this I can hear elec. Fuel pump working loud and clear. I decide to pour raw gas into throttle body. Engine finally fires after few tries of turning over. Do I Have A Bad Fuel Pump? This is not the first time I've had this problem. I have also changed fuel filter couple months ago. Please help me understand. Thank You. Engine is 454 SS.

Check the fuel pressure if its within specs if okay

Fuel injectors not spraying fuel could mean power to the injectors or a problem with the computer ground drivers circuits for the injectors also a missing ignition reference input signal to the computer in order to synchronize the injectors
