90 rx7 wont start (been sitting)

Ok i accidently put this in the wrong spot last time but i recently got a 1990 7 n/a that has been sitting for a few years. First the tank was dropped and cleaned (had some gel and rust.) then i put sea foam and atf in the motor and hand turned over a couple different times. i have brand new fuel pump and filter and i know im getting spark. I turned the motor over and it sounds fine, but it wont start the plugs dont seem to be getting fuel on them. i know the pump builds pressure but the motor doesnt seem to get it. but i did break the plastic valve on top of the gas tank (guess a fuel return or something) could this affect it some how or is it clogged injectors? any advice is helpful thanks

If you broke the return line, fuel should be pouring out through the broke line. If not, then fuel isn't getting into the lines at all...

Be sure to check from fuel tank through the car and into the motor for any more breaks or errors.

Well it's not the line right next to the fuel line it connects to a plastic valve in the center of the tank. Just making sure we are thinking of the same one

I have the same problem with an 86 we are trying to revive. Spark and compression, but no fuel. If it's been sitting, pull your injectors and either clean and replace or swap in known working ones.

So did you get your 86 running that way?
