I own a 93 Intrepid with the 3.3L car isn't getting any fuel I checked the
valve on the fuel rail and all I got was air. fuel pump works for about 3
seconds after I turn the key to "acc" but still won't start. Whats the
possibility it could be a cheap fix and be the filter?

If all you get is air, your car is out of fuel. It is normal for the pump to
only run for 3 sec. That's what the purpose of the ASD relay is. Put some
gas in it and find out why the gauge isn't working

Thanks!! sure enough it was empty. is it common for the fuel gauge to
malfunction in these vehicles?
