Default 1996 Cobra with a fuel delivery problem

We have a 1996 Cobra that has a fuel delivery problem, It has been sitting for years without use! Check the fuses, disconnected fuel lines and the fuel pump is not operating. Does anyone know where to check next, the owners manual is not very discript as far as circuit breakers or relay's for same. Before I drop the gas tank I would like to make sure and not miss a simple solution.

Any idea's ?

Thanks for any advice!

It could be the emergency cut off switch has been activated...look for the reset button in the trunk..also will the car fire if you spray some starting fluid in the intake hose? Can be useful for starting dead cars...however, you should hear the fuel pump "whine" when the key is turned if it is working...good luck

The fuel pump relay is inside the trunk behind a plastic trim piece!
That is most likely your problem. Also since it's sat for So long I would Sea Foam your gas tank and put a New Motorcraft fuel filter on!
