I have a 1991 Honda CRX SI

The car sat for a long time without being turned on.

Now, when i try to turn the vehicle on, it tries to turn over but the motor will not start.

When i sprayed some engine start in the intake manifold, the motor turns on but only for a while.

*I figured this ment that it is a fuel problem on my hands.

I replaced the fuel filter (and the spark plugs just to be safe)

I gave it a try and still the motor will not turn over. I tried to prime the lines (by continuosly turning the key off then on) i releases the pressure bolt on the fuel filter, and there was 1) no pressure 2) no fuel.

I dont know what i should check now.
