Default 89 Pioneer won't start.

I went to start it up today and nothing i figured low gas cause that's what it seemed like but after adding gas still nothing. Looking closer we noticed that after checking the spark plugs that they weren't wet. Check the fuel filter it was a little dirty but not to stop the fuel. After looking around i found a little line on the vacuum harness that was broken. Could it be that this line being broken is preventing the injectors from having enough fuel pressure to get gas to the plugs?

Also i checked the distributor cap and it was a little corroded but not enough to do any damage.

If it is this broken line is super glue a viable option as bad as it sound? Just until i replace it.89 Pioneer won't start.-securedownload.jpg

1st...you are in the grand cherokee section.

2nd....glue may clog up your line if you are not careful.
3rd....if those plastic hoses are brittle....they crack easily....just replace em all with good quality vacuum hoses.
4th...try disconnecting and reconnecting your CPS a few times....if it starts after that...replace CPS.
5th....does the fuel pump prime when you turn on the key? If not replace relay with one next to it and see if she starts. If relay is good and no primeing....fuel pump could have died................

update. Took 2 different spark plugs out and set them on the engine for grounding and no spark. Distributor cap or rotor?
