Yours is an 89 cabriolet ? Im no expert but is there anyway you could've swapped the fuel feed line with the return line on the in-tank pump ? When you turn your key on can you hear the pumps running ?

Try un-hooking the line from the in-tank pump where it feeds the outer unit and turn your key on to see if fuel is reaching that point, if it is then un-hook the line coming out of the outer pump and see what you have there ? Did you get a new pump or used ? Cis and Cis E runs on higher fuel pressure than newer Digifant systems. Do you have part#s from new pumps ?

I'll try to post some pics of my outer pump assembly and hoses if it'll help(if it isnt raining tommorow).
