1992 Caprice Wagon no fuel coming through

Hi new to the forum so hello and I hope you can help me

I have a 1992 caprice wagon, the car was my cousins and has been sitting for a few years, it was always started and moved around every few months, I have been after it for a wile and finally got it, the day we go to move it to my house it wont start so we ended up towing it over

since I have had it I cant get it to run, the fuel pump is working I can hear it in the tank, also I replaced the fuel filter and while I was there I put the fuel pump on and it pumped out fuel no problem, next I cranked off the 2 fuel lines that go into the throttle body and there is no fuel coming out, (I have had a bit of fuel come out every now and then), I have used a noid light which while cranking the first flash is very bright then the rest flash dimmer but are flashing, if I pour fuel straight in it starts up lovelly, please help me why is my fuel not getting up there I am so want to go for a drive in it

Thanks for reading my ramblings and please help

Alan

My suggestion, check your fuel tank for floating debris.

So you have good flow to the point where your fuel filter is, but not at the throttle body if I read right. Sounds like you have a restriction in the line somewhere. Go to a parts store and get as many feet of fuel hose (get the high pressure stuff-don't cheap out) and run it from the filter to the TB. You could try to get prebent o.e. replacement fuel lines, not sure where to go outside of a JY and that may or may not be a viable option for you.
