idle problems, hard start. 700 1991

My method of troubleshooting is to find out what is working and eliminate those items. So, jumper relay and if pump is running, pump is good. Pull plug and crank, blue spark, spark is good. etc. With 1/2 a tank, even if hose has a hole, it will still suck fuel. You said you're not sure about your spark tester. You really need to check spark. Like I posted before. You need spark, fuel, compression and spark at the right time. Is your timing belt turning? Pull oil filler cap and see if cam is turning when you crank. Non-interference engine so no damage if it broke or jumped time. You said you have Rex/Regina, just one pump in the tank.
