Why is there no fuel in the engine?
If you get pressure to the rail, then there could be a problem with the injectors; they may be either dirty or plugged up. Take the injectors off the engine and clean them with CLR.
What to do if there is no fuel in the tank?
You may need to remove the shrader part of the valve from the threaded tube. If there is still no pressure, then replace the fuel filter and retest. If nothing after that, then the fuel pressure regulator is not working and needs replacing.
What happens when there is no fuel in the fuel pump?
This also verifies that the engine has no fuel pressure. Electric fuel pumps on electronically controlled fuel injection systems need to produce enough “high” pressure to allow the injectors to produce a sufficient spray of atomized fuel into the intake path (or into the combustion chamber in a direct-injection system).
What causes a car to not start with no gas?
Problem may be at wiring connector on top of fuel tank (hard to reach!). No gas in fuel tank (Check the fuel gauge, and keep in mind the gauge may not be reading accurately). Bad gas (Contaminated with water or too much alcohol or diesel fuel). If you just filled up with gas and now your car won’t start, suspect bad gas.

Can a car start with no fuel going to the carburetor?
Crank the engine and check for fuel at the carburetor. The engine may start with fuel from a remote source such as a fuel can. If the pump draws fuel from the can and not the tank the tank screen must be inspected and or replaced.
