96 Sonoma Fuel Pump mystery

I have a 2.2L that has 155K. It has been parked for the past few months and I have started it about every 2 weeks. The last time I tried, I discovered the fuel pump was not working. After changing out the fuel pump and installing a new filter, I am having a hard time getting the fuel to the injectors. I checked and have fuel at the filter. I can get it started using starter fluid but will not continue to run on its own. Any idea's about what to check next???

Have you checked your injectors? Check the fuel pressure with a gauges. And the filter you replaced, was it the in-tank sock, or the actual fuel filter inline on the rail?

You have to reprime the system by turnng the key to the on position before start for 5 seconds and back to off for ten seconds about 10 times to completely reprime the fuel system again.
