2001 TL new fuel pump, gas comes out at pump and does seem to reach the front

I have a 2001 acura TL 3.2 6. 14 years old 9,000 miles. Sat for ten years. Replaced battery, fuel pump. Fuel comes out of pump and doesn't seem to get to engine. Turns over won't start.

Try with starting fluid to see if it runs. My guess is your fuel tank is full of rust and it's clogging up the fuel lines... low fuel pressure. You might need to replace the fuel tank.

When you replaced the fuel pump did you inspect the tank?

The only thing left is oxygen. Check the throttlebody, make sure the butterflies are not frozen.

Check the plugs see if its wet? If all plugs are wet then you have a spark problem.
