It is most Likely your fuel pump, or possibly a clogged fuel filter. I had the same problem on my grand am, put in a new pump and that solved it.

I was driving my 1994 isuzu rodeo and lost complete power.Got a few jumps and truck wont start.sounds like it wants to start when i turn key over.I also put gas in and still nothing

run the fault codes
check for cam/crank position sensors failure, immobilizer failure , pump operation
could be a failed ECM
have the battery load tested as it may be the original fault and jump starting may have caused a power surge and damaged the ECM

Not getting gass but fuel pump works & gas is clean, also it has sat inside for 12 years

Well if the pump works then follow the pump fuel lines to the engine,you will find the fuel filter then replace it and will also see petrol if any in it ,if not pump isent working ,if dirty replace it and blow air back from carby to filter to clean out pipe
,turn on ign fuel should come to filter and then with new filter in turn on fuel and see if any comes to carby if ok it should start and run.
Have a goodday,

Fuel in filter and start pouring gas in carb, but won't stay running

Make and Model, year of vehicle?
I'm assuming the vehicle won't run unless you pour gas into the intake. If the vehicle will start and run while manually feeding gas to the engine, you can rule out spark and timing issues. Usual suspects in fuel system are dead fuel pump (electrical or mechanical?) clogged delivery system ( fuel line, filter, injector or jet) or intake leak (bad gasket or seal, vacuum leak, stuck valve). 25310438-za4bqvjhdrn3arnyccyp5xaz-5-0.jpg

Car will not run unless gas in carb

Sounds like the fuel pump is bad. The engine is just not getting fuel unless you pour it in the carb.

Carb are EFI problems basically your fuel system is not running properly. If you no engines start with that if not take it to your mech he should be able to fix it at a pretty good rate in no time

My 1985 grand Marquis won't start I can pour gas

Take the gas filter off. Should be located near the front of the carbeurator, take off the air cleaner and look for it, it takes 2 wrenches to take it off, a little gas may spill out but not much and replace it, however there is a strong possibility that he gas pump is out if the filter is fine. Hope this helps
