    bought car, wont start. fuel problem?

    what's up r3v,

    its been a month since I lost my 318is, and I found me a nice little 89 325 in a city next door.

    got there checked the fluids and tried to fire it up just for kicks, but the fuel evaporated over the years. so I dropped 2 gal in there and and it turns over but it wont start.

    dropped a little bit of fuel in into the intake boot and it struggled to turn on, and eventually turned on for a good 5 seconds before cutting off.

    im guessing im not getting fuel into the mix.

    i tried tapping the tank but no go. think a bad filter would do this? or the pump too.

    found out later the car has been sitting for at least 3 years. maybe 10 if I go by the reg. stickers, LOL.

    thanks.

    most likely you have yourself a fuel pump problem.
