this is an easy problem to diagnose. First make sure your pump is being powered, if you can connect your fuel pump to a power source manually and see if fuel is being pumped(you can just dump it into a can or something) if thats the case hook the filter up, again with the hose just dumping into a can see if the fuel makes it past the filter. If not well there you go, then check to see if that fuel makes it to the TBI, if so check those injectors.

well its a pretty simple design, i you pull the line right before the TBI manually power the fuel pump and no fuel flows and the pump is functioning then something is wrong in the lines. Clogged? Crimped?
