There is a little vacuum servo at the back of the manifold called the fuel pressure regulator. As the name suggests, it's supposed to keep the fuel flowing at a constant rate. As they get old, they seize up. Varies from not enopugh fuel to none at all when it isn't working properly.
If the problem is electrical, it's simple. open the driver's door and turn on the ignition. You should hear the fuel pump running for about 5-10 seconds, then it will shut off. If you don't hear that, check the fuel pump circuit from start to finish, including removing the pump and bench test it if necessary.
If all of the above is ok, check your inline fuel filter. If that's ok, then you may have to bleed the injectors, much like you do on old diesels |

There is no way to bleed injectors manually they will bleed themselves.
As above make sure your fuel pump is running.
Did you pull the fuse/relay before removing old engine to relieve line pressure?? |
What's the difference between understeer and oversteer?
Understeer is when the driver is scared.
Oversteer is when the passenger is scared. |

Yeah,especially on a motor that hasn't been run for an extended period such as one purchased from a wrecker. |
