As mentioned earlier, I want to put a top on a car so can bring it to the glass shop and have the rear window put back in. I have a black '01 that I took the top from to put in the white car that I sold. It cranks and runs on starter fluid, but otherwise won't run.
With no fuel pressure I drained the tank and found that the pump was corroded and the hose to the sender cracked.
Then I found that the fuel filter needed to be replaced. Fuel from the filter:
There is now pressure at the fuel rail and fuel passes through to the return line, but it still doesn't run. Today I'm going to try swapping out the fuel rail and injectors with the engine in the car. It looks like it will be a tight space to work in, but doable. I'll soon know how much trouble it's going to be.
It would be easy to trailer the car to the glass shop and have the window installed, but I've had this car sitting since I bought it in September and it's time to get it running.
