I played with it a little this morning. First thing I did was prime the lines, fuel pump came on...good. I checked the push valve on the fuel rail and nothing came out. I primed the lines about 5 times in a row then checked the rail again and it only dripped fuel. I jacked up the car and checked all the fuel line connections and wiring harnesses...everything looks good. I tried starting the car after each change I made and still nothing; the engine just turns over. I unplugged a wire, tried to start the engine, then pulled that spark plug and it was dry.

Also, just to scratch it off the list, I went over all the fuses and tested the fuel pump relay and ignition relay...they are good.

Looks like there might be a problem with something in the tank. Maybe the line came loose from the pump or the in tank filter is clogged.

I will check the fuel filter first, thats easier than dropping the tank again
