Need help on starting issue.....

hi, guys
this is the story. my car was sitting on drive way for about six months. it had no starting issue at that time. last thursday, i try to start with fully charged battery it cranks but no start i thought it was flood. so i tried 4x push start plus most deflood procedure you guys know like new plugs and so on...... still no start. next things, i had to check for spark and fuel. spark came out ok. but i noticed something wrong with front rotor. usually when i crank the engine with spark plug out i could see little cloud of fuel come out from spark plug holes. but no fuel came out from front rotor. it seems rear rotor was ok. of couse i left egi fuse on fuse block. i thought i found problem. about 10 minute later while i was double checking the front rotor(crank.crank.crank). suddenly fuel stopped for both rotor. so frustrated... i took off three fuel line under the throttle body. there was no fuel at all. did i blow egi fuse?? or fuel pump, primary injectors, Ecu. i have no idea where to start.... how do i test egi fuse(green one)?? it has so many pin underneath.
thanks.

mod: pettit ecu, intercooler, full exhaust, stock injectors, reman engine with no port 30000mile on it.

Alright, first thing, download the service manual!

Now, the EGI relay does not control the fuel it's the "Circuit" relay that you need to be checking.

The simple way to check your relays is to just swap them with others that aren't necessary to start the car. Any relay can be swapped for another they're all the same, so take one off from the black box in the front of the car and put it in place of the "circuit" relay. If that doesn't work, try swapping out the "Fuel Pump" relay in the long black box and then report back

this may be a dumb question but when u are talkin bout the circuit relay which relay are u speakin of. I jus ordered a new EGI main relay but wont be able to install it due to the fact that im in florida for work for the next 2 weeks but ive replaced the fuel pump from a wahlbro to a rc comp pump but im open to try anything when i get back home
