Thanks Allen... Before I disconnect the inlet/outlet lines again, I was wondering if there was another way to check for fuel flow. As for the fuel pump, I think i had just had it replaced before I stopped running it. I have noticed that there is very little to no smell of gas. Also, what about a thorough cleaning of the fuel injectors?
