Default help me if you can

OK I got my Jeep in time and the problem I'm running into now is its not getting any gas. I can hear the fuel pump kick on and off but I'm not getting anything on the fuel rail. What could it be? Please help me out and its a 93 xj 4.0 thanks

define "now is its not getting any gas." litterally you push valve on rail and nothing? or really really low pressure? either way a bad filter or a pinched line maybe? what about PCM? you have odb1 (i think) but you can still pull codes. even if CEL isnt on there might be a code storred in there that will give you a direction. idk, my .02. good luck!

I pushed in the valve on the fuel rail and it didn't let any pressure out at all (no air or gas) and since its been sitting for a few years I'm gonna replace the fuel pump and filter to start with
