So my car has been sitting for a while (1 - 2 months) waiting for parts to come from overseas. I had the intake manifold off to put the new fittings in and went to start but just kept turning over but didn't fire.
Started checking the obvious first and I have no fuel getting to the injectors. Fuel pumps working, fuel filter not blocked. Fuel gets all the way up to the filter thing (not sure what its called - see yellow highlighted item in image) and then doesn't come out the horizontal hose that feeds the injectors.
I have removed the filer valve and blasted with an air gun - no luck. I can't seem to get anything to pass through this. Is the small hose exiting the top a vacuum? Do these block, best just find a new one?
I don't have a pic of the part removed but have done my best to show where it is and where I'm getting fuel to

Not sure if possible on this model but make sure you havnt got the fuel lines hooked up around the wrong way, the Regulator is usally plumbed into the return side of the system

I didn't think of that. Will swap the lines around and give it a go. I'm hoping you and Jonah are right
