    can you hear your pump come on with your igniton? if not have you got power at the plug for your pump?. failing that check your filter i guess, id be guessing that your pump is not actually coming on. perhaps a broken wire somewhere.

    You could try looping out your diagonstics plug, with the key being in the on position slide under the car and try to listen for the fuel pump.

    If that does not work and you can not hear anything then get a multimeter and test the white plug that comes from your car to the fuel tank sender and see if that has any power there.
    If there is power there then eaither your pump is blocked, a wire has came off the pump inside the tank or it has just died.

    This will tell you where to start looking for your problems

    Yeah, fuel filters are directional, I dont know what happens in you put it on backwards, but im guessing its not good for flow.
