1991 Chevy Corsica 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 150 k miles

3.1 mpfi ...it has been sitting for about 2 years and ran good when parked.. i was told the only thing wrong with it was a battery drain if parked overnight, (dead battery by morning).. i replaced the fuel filter and no fuel is pumping into the new one..i tried cranking it with no filter to see and nothing.. is their any way to directly power the pump from the data port? (i have done it with my camaro). would the relay kill the pump? any other suggestions would be great ps the fuse is good and it starts with starter fluid in the intake..

You should hear the fuel pump for a few secs when you turn key to run. If not could be the fuse/fuel pump relay or the pump itself.

Find the fuel pump connector and make sure ground is good apply battery voltage to the gray wire from the battery positive post did it come on?
