How can you check your fuel pump on a 1995 Dodge Intrepid?
Under the hood find the carburetor and the gas line leading into the carburetor and disconnect or cut it and try to start the car if when you start the car and gas squirts out its not the fuel pump but if it doesnt do anything it is your fuel pump

84 ford bronco 2 wont start. Sat for a week and now it is not getting fuel. when you pour gas in the carburetor it will start. It has gas in the tank i made sure of that.?
It sounds like your fuel pump is bad. try taking the fuel line loose from the carb and turning it over. If no fuel comes out, replace the filter and try again. Still no fuel, replace the pump. You've got to get fuel to the carb.

How do you restart a 93 Camry after it has been run out of gas?

You have a 1993 Camaro it runs rough when you first start it then it dies you try to start it again and it wont whats up?
There's possibly several things going on. Change the sparkplugs, clean the carburetor with some carb cleaner. You'll have to take off the airfilter. Try starting the car. If it will not start pour high octane fuel into the carburetor. This will bypass the fuel pump. If it starts smooth you'll need to replace the fuel pump.
Why will my 1991 Honda XR80R not start it has spark and a new carburetor checked timing and spark plug seems dry?
Try putting gas in carb and start or take out plug and put gas in put plug back in and try to start.If it tries to run or starts check fuel lines for blockages .If not check compression.
I can only start my truck if i pour fuel in the carburetor but even then it will just idle if i try to put it in gear it shuts down What do you think the problem is?
Sounds like it's not getting fuel. Could the tank be empty? Frozen or plugged fuel filter?
My son ran mini bike out of gas put old dirty gas in then new gas I drained carb mini bike pops out the muffler wont start?
Try draining the gas tank completely and then Put new gas in with fuel stabilizer. Then spray starter fluid (wwd 40 works) into carburetor and start engine!! I hope this works if not then you might want to take it to a professional.
If your 1983 Ford pick-up will not start were do you start trouble shooting?
Check battery first for proper voltage. If battery is good and your engine will turn over, check for ignition spark through ignition cables to spark plugs. If you have spark, check for proper fuel pressure. If battery is good but engine will not crank, suspect either the starter, solenoid, or ignition switch. If your problem is not caused by one of these, consult a mechanic. Look to see if the carburetor is working correct, if so try putting some gas down the carburetor, NOT A LOT or you will make the biggest back fire u have ever seen coming out of the carburetor, if you put to much gas in the carburetor step back and try and start it. Do this after u have tryed the other suggestions from the first post..
What to do if Chevy ran out of gas and won't start?

Why does your carburetor leak gas?
I have no idea why your carburetor leaks gas. For starters, I have no idea what type of engine you have. If it is a car, it is an old one since you do not have fuel injection. Maybe you should clean the grease and grime that has built up over the last 20 years off your carburetor and engine. Next, take a wrench, not a pair of pliers, and tighten the connections. They may have come loose. Now start your engine and try to see if you can tell where the gas might be leaking. Take the air filter off your carburetor. If it was not a loose connection and is not a leaking tube that you can replace then you have done all you can do and need to take it to a regular mechanic.
