I swapped out an engine from a 2000 cavalier (2.4l 4cyl). I used all of the
components from the 98 engine except the fuel rail. It seems like I am not
getting fuel. Any idea why?

Does the pump run, any prssure at the rail, are the injectors pulsing, any
spark?

A good fp tester has adapters to connect to the fuel filter to test
pressure, the small line is the return line, for a proper diagnosis you need
to get the fp tested, or take a chance and replace the pump..
