I just put a new fuel pump on my 1985 trans am and it won't start for anything now. It will start if someone pours gas in the carb but as soon as i step on the gas it sounds like nothing but air and the car dies immediatly. If anyone knows what is wrong please fill me in. Thanks

Could it possibly be the fuel filter or could the carb just be junk?......It's a quadrajet carb I heard they we're junk just a thought.

either you did not install the fuel pump right check all your connections and lines, check for kinks in the fuel lines etc. or there is a fuel filter in the line that needs to be replaced. sounds like the fuel is not get up to the carb. also remove and replace the gas cap to release any vapor lock.

Either you have dirt in the fuel lines or filter or you have air bubbles in the lines. crack the line, take an airline and blow the gas line out.... til you hear air bubbles in the tank. if that doesnt work at least you know its not that, do you have spark? if you dont, the pick up in the distributor could be bad. Main question from hubby here is Do you have any spark at all?

If it's a mechanical fuel pump I would say you have the lift arm around the back of the cam so the pump will not operate. Jules, Automotive lecturer. Australia

check your idle-fuel to air ratio. Stuck choke plate?

fuel line problem, or fuel injector problem, or you over clamped the pump
