Turn your key to the on position and listen for the hummm of the fuel pump it will do this when key is on. You may have a fuel relay problem for a car that old. It should be labeled on the fuse cover where that is. Not a flat fuse but a box looking figure with 30 on side. You might see 85 and 87 also in some kind weird diagram. Good luck
