Cadillac Repair: 1984 cadillac deville--fuel pump cont, cadillac deville, fuel level


Question
QUESTION: please see my original question on 7/19/08.  I have since replaced the sending unit and pump with used parts from Arizona, very clean. I have cleaned out the tank and installed everything and still I don't hear anything in the tank and still not getting any fuel.  How can I check at I am getting power to the pump?  But not sure that's the issue because the sending unit is working with the gauge showing the fuel level.  If that works I am guessing I am getting power, right?  Please help me, I am starting to get frustrated.

ANSWER: If that works I am guessing I am getting power, right?  WRONG.

QUESTION: Hello.  Well we determined the pump was bad and I have since replaced the pump and we can hear it run in the tank.  I have attempted to start the car several times but I don't think I am getting fuel to the throttle body.  I have sprayed starting fluid into the throttle body and it will run until it burns all the starting fluid off.  I am not sure where to go from here, I thought about taking one end of the fuel filter off to see if there is fuel there.  I know it should take a little time to get fuel to the throttle body since the car ha not run in many years but how long?  Any ideas?  How do I check to see if the injectors are working?
