undo the fuel line where it joins the fuel rail to your injectors.. it is under extreme pressure so be careful.. get someone to crank car for a second or two and if fuel sprays out then its not a fuel problem..
sounds like the injector got stuck close because of sitting so long....take em out and cleasn them up real good an try that it should work make ensure the wires have a good solid connection and no bent pins.
Put an injector noid light at the injector plug terminals to see if your getting a signal from the PCM(computer).If not try to find a computer from the same vehicle that works and swap it into yours to check.A PCM swap will take about 15minutes.
If you having fuel flow problem, 1st check the fuel pump make sure is has a good pressure, 2nd check the crank sensors, 3rd common problems on 2.2l injectors which it has only one can be faulty or clog. 4th check fuel regulator, if the regulator is bad it wont keep the pressure build up and lock allowing the injector to work correctly. if your fuel pump is good, your crank sensor may also be going bad, what crank sensor does it it sense the flywheel turning and it send single to ECU (computer) telling it to turn on the pump and keep it running as long as the flywheel keep turning. If pump, crank sensor,regulator and injector are good, my next guess is to have your ECU bench tested. if you have to replace ECU, get it from the junk yard.
The last pieces in the chain are the fuel regulator and the injectors. The regulator is inside the throttle body, but it sounds that maybe the injectors are not firing. For nothing else, check out the connections to the injectors. Possibly they are clogged. Try a few treatments of injector cleaner.
U have 2 seperate problems, the gas gauge issue is caused by a defective sending unit in the gas tank, the cutting out will require u take the car in and have the electronic engine control system tested for trouble codes. Does this car have the 5.7 L engine?
Only thing you can do yourself is to pull off the connector on the computer and check pins for corrosion. If you can get another computer on "loan" you might try plugging it in. though its somewhat rare (it should be) computers do fail. On older cars you can likely get a replacement in any scrap yard. sorry I can't help more, but with no readings, everything points to what I've said. You should also check ignition switch to amke sure power is coming out of there to remainder of system.
