My 87 spider won't start and I think it is not getting fuel.I took off the pump from under car and gravity feed the pump while jumping it with power and nothing came out but it ran.I don't know if it needs pressure from the in tank pump.I only ran it for a few seconds.Is there another way to test?

Thanks Harry

I'd say your fuel pump failed the test. They can get clogged with trash from the fuel tank (rust & other debris). See: Fuel Pumps and Contaminated Gas Tanks

Thank You
I ordered the Bosch 69414 Hope that is the right one

I would start with checking the pump leads for continuity, then voltage when the ignition is switched on, fuel filter, in-tank pump

good luck

That pretty much rules out a wiring problem
