TPI Motor Not Starting After Paint Job

91 TA (Stock) TPI 305. I am completely lost!!!! Car was on jackstands for 2 months and it ran fine before this. Started car and it idled ok. When I pressed on the accelerator the engine died. I depressed shrader valve on fuel rail on no pressure. I replace fuel pump and filter...... still nothing.

Is ther something I did during the painting process to cause this??

Please help!!

Did you change the original color? If so, you need to reprogram the prom.

Check the DIY_PROM forum for futher advice.
