No fuel delivery on startup
Quote from TEStewart on July 18, 2021, 10:31 amI have a 350 SBC with aluminum heads, air gap intake, and a moderate cam. Running Fitech inline fuel pump with return line. On initial installation the car ran great. Sid some minor tweaking to the tuning and was perfectly satisfied. Car has about 300 miles since installation. No issues. Because of a family health issue the car sat for about a month. Tried to restart and nothing. Engine turns but no fuel is delivered. Shot in a squirt of starter fluid and it started right up but quickly died. When turned on the fuel pump builds 60 PSI and drops to zero when it shuts off. Running "pure" gas (no ethenol) and dual in line filters.

Also need to check battery voltage, system hates low voltage, maybe a month was enough to drop a volt or so, put a charger on for a while. Silly question, but you have constant power to throttle body?

No prime shot - nothing. Tried to direct wire the fuel pump to keep pressure up and still nothing. Battery lives on a maintainer and keeps around 13.5+ volts. There is constant power to the throttle body. Checked the fuse and it is good.
