It's got a Walbro pump. Of course that's the problem.

Amazing deal man, go with the cheaper things first, fuel filter, injectors etc. then look at the pump. Do you know the pressure for sure, have you tested it?

Might be the security system... Don't they allow it to run for a little while and then cut off to screw the thief?

Maybe he DID steal it

Helluva deal, congrats!

Dropping the tank, especially the metal ones still used in '98 isn't fun. You might as well plan on the set-up you're gonna use, my bet is that the fuel pump or the wiring that's patched in is the cause.
