    I'd pull the fuel filters to see if they are full, and put on new ones primed with fresh fuel.

    Do you hear the electric lift pump run when you turn the key on? That's what brings the fuel up to the mechanical pump.

    I believe so. I do hear normal clickinga nd grinding noise when I turn the ignition on. I am suspecting fuse too but I want to make sure the battery connections I made are correct since I took off those for charging. If anybody know on normal wiring how many small wires go to + and how many small wires go to -. I have 2 on + and 3 on -. Is it so?

    You cant imagine how many owners/drivers/mechanics do the same mistake.
