fuel problems!!

okay, i have a problem, and i don't know if it is big, or a small thing that's easy to fix. my car will not start. i think it is flooding, but not sure. i also have a half tank of gas, but my gas guage says i am empty and there is a beeping sound going off (not the warning buzzer) it beeps three times and then waits and then beeps three times again. my holley fuel pump is delivering 6 psi to my gauge at the holley 650. could anybody tell me if this is an electrical problem, or have any of you had this problem with your holley setup?

Flooded, most likely.

pull the EGI fuse
take out ur spark plugs
crank it for 10 seconds (gas vapors will arise)
put 1 oz of ATF in each spark plug hole
replace spark plugs

start it.

if that works, ur car is flooded, may be leaky injectors like mine

You will find a wealth of information in the FAQ thread at the top of this forum section. Check it out. Here's the answer to your beeping problem:

I keep hearing a beep beep beep
Probably the power steering computer telling you there is a problem with the system. The number of beeps before pausing will indicate the problem.
1-beep, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of speed sensor signal:
In case broken wires or short circuits occur to sensors or harnesses, the buzzer sounds 60-seconds after the engine speed signal of 2200 rpm continues for 18-seconds.
2-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of engine speed signal:
The buzzer sounds twice and repeats when the vehicle speed signal is missing input and/or no engine speed signal is found (short circuit, broken wire, etc.)
3-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of stepping motor signal:
The buzzer sounds when there are broken wires or short circuits in coils or harnesses.

4-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of the power steering microcomputer:
The buzzer sounds 4 and repeats when there are circuit troubles other than with the micro computer.
5-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of steering sensor signal: Steering sensor is mis-aligned or failed or steering wheel has been improperly installed.
