fuel problem

ok so heres where im at right now my car was running like **** secondaries wernt working so i took apart the intake and cleaned all 4 injectors took a little while but i got the car back together and running it will idle but will not rev properly so i figured i would check to see if fuel is flowing up through the secondary rail so i could rule that out but come to find out im not getting any fuel at all flowing up to the secondary rail the car drove fine before it started acting up 2 days ago no problems but the fuel pump was a little loud... any help is appreciated i searched the forum nothing like this came up and i know that its kind of impossible for fuel to flow into the primary rail only

Obvious question: Is the secondary rail hooked up? Is the line blocked? How did you check to see if fuel was flowing to the secondary fuel rail?

This is odd. Be sure everything is hooked up properly. Look it over several times... Be sure nothing is crimped and/or blocked. While you're under the UIM, you may want to consider getting your injectors rebuilt and cleaned.

That sound like a pretty bad blockage
Get a new rail, or soak it overnight in kerosene

Did you have a genuine Walbro? And a more important question... Do you run your tank dry? (This could have a very negative effect on your fuel pump.)
