call in lawrence welk! well im showing my age. seriously, the prime pump may be shot. if that is the case you can get going by removing your air filter top and spraying wd40 into the intake while cranking. the car will run on it. keep spraying until it will run on its own. then think about changine the prime pump. are you sure youre using it correctly? if not sure see owners manual.

good luck
