91 hatch No fuel pressure

I drove my car down the street to work, shut her off for about 20 minutes and tried to start again, that’s when it started.
She cranks, I hear the fuel pump priming and the main relay clicking. She’ll start and die if I spray a little carb cleaner in the intake. When I took of the output line to the fuel filter and tried to prime I still hear it prime, yet no fuel comes out. There is fuel in the tank.

My best guess is to drain the tank and take everything apart to clean everything. Maybe a clogged line? Or fuel pump screen? She is parked nose down on a hill, would that affect anything?

Looking for some expertise or something I’m missing, thanks in advance for the help.

Re: 91 hatch No fuel pressure

Did you really make sure the tank is not just empty? You know you'll kick your own azz hard if that's all that's wrong......


If you can definitely hear the fuel pump run but no fuel comes out from the top of the tank unit, pull it out to see why
