Check the fuel pump relay, the wiring to the fuel pump, and the pump itself.
Either the pump is not getting power, or the pump is bad.

Theoretically I suppose a fuel line or the fuel filter could be clogged, but the chance of getting no fuel is pretty low; usually you would just get lower pressure.

Really should explain your problem with a bit of context.

but I’d do as mentioned above. And just wire straight power and ground to the fuel pump connector near the shock tower to get rid of everything in between during testing.

I agree with the above. Apply 12V directly to the fuel pump and ensure it works before diagnosing anything in between. I had the same issue on my 10AE and had it diagnosed in 10 minutes. Ordered a fuel pump and installed it and all was well.
