We've been through similar questions before.
Had the car been sitting for a long time? Have you changed the fuel filter?
In my case the tank was/is so rusty that the sediment would clog the filter
and kill the car. A fairly easy test is to pull the hose on the tank side
of the fuel pump and then submerge it in a container with clean fuel. If the
car runs fine your problem is probably the tank. If not, it is most likely
the pump.
In my case, I took off the cap and blew through the hose into the tank with
my compressor. It runs OK, but obviously the cure is a new tank.
THE USUAL PRECAUTIONS ABOUT WORKING WITH FUEL, CONTAINERS AND FAN BELTS ETC.
ALL APPLY.
