The crazy thing is that i got a flash light and looked all around on the inside of the tank and it was close to spotless! sure there was a little bit of silt but really? enough to kill the car? it still has practically a full tank of gas!

is the little plastic container by the carburetor suppose to be full of gas?

I don't know. i will do the cleaning again and clean the tank but i don't think there is anything in there.

thanks again for your help

Today was about 10 hours of 2002 work.. and we went in a full circle.

We started with cleaning the fuel lines and screens the little plastic filter on the carborater side of the fuel pump was totally gunked up, the question is, is it only suppose to be about 1/4th full? i replaced that, and we took the fuel pump apart to clean the screen in that, it was really messy too. we blew air threw the lines, and they were clean. looking in my gas tank we found it was actually really clean and there was nothing to clean there, and air traveled streight through the fuel sender. for about 2 hours the car actually ran after all that cleaning, and it ran like perfectly, but alas all good things must end. it puttered to a stop and it died because of lack of fuel.

for some reason the fuel pump is not sucking or pushing any fuel anywhere. the thing is that fuel pump is like brand new. i didnt install it obviously but it looked like it was fresh out of the box.

anyway, we are still stuck with a fuel starved 2002, and we dont know where to look next. are there any other filters or anything i am missing??

I dont feel like we'll ever figure it out.

Your awesome, thank you so much,

Ill post an update when i try this,

thanks again!

Ok, Its embarrassing but I'm not to technical at all, are there any places i could see like a picture tutorials?

thank you so much for your help man!

I need some advice!

So i got my first car awhile back (i'll try and get some pictures posted)

It ran when i got it, haha. But i ran the car dry of car (yes i'm a student) due to lack of money at the time. anyway, next time i got gas, the car ran for about 100 more yards, then just puttered out. and i coult not get that thing to fire for the life of me. After rope towing it home with my sisters subaru, My dad and i did some examination. the car runs great, when you spray starter fluid into the carborator the little clear plastic thing has no fuel in it. Could be the tank clogging, could be the fuel pump? looks like a brandnew aftermarket pump though.

anyone could send me a link to maybe a similar problem or just give me some advice that would be awesome! (also i can't get it to pass DEQ which I dont know hwat to do) the smog equipment is out of the car.
