I just recently purchased an 82 Corvette as a restoration project.  It has been sitting around for a while and hasn't really been driven for a while.  After the cold winter, I got it started and it was running fine considering.  I tried to get it started yesterday and for some reason the injectors are not getting any fuel.  I checked all the fuses and they are fine however when I checked if any power was getting to the fuel pump, there is none.  Fuses are fine, wiring appears fine and the engine will still run with some fuel in the carb.  Is there somewhere else I should be checking to get power to the pump?

i had this same exact problem and have been trying to find an answer, finally did 2 days ago and fixed last night

what it is, is ur fuel pump... the pump in the tank is either jammed which means that you have to take it out and tap on it with a wrench and see if it works after that or you have to replace it...

its ackshly quite easy to remove, first remove your fuel door, then take the black circular thing with the door hinge off, the remove the rubber boot, then remove the bolts on the circular fuel sender, then CAREFULLY remove lines.
And lastly pull it up and out, it dosent quite come out so you have to wiggle it and turn it sideways and just play with it to get it out.

this process takes some time so do it and thats all there is too it.

Good luck if you need additional help or pictures on how to do it email me

next thing you need to do is take that piece of crap engine out and stuff a beast in that vett and have the vett that chevy should of built in 82. thoes cross fires suck balls. i could prob. beat that in a race with me on foot.

i am probably a little late with this...

but...  every crossfire owner... camaro or corvette should read both of these articles..

if you remember that a crossfire is just a twin TBI unit... its not a hard thing to work on if you get the adjustments right..
