I'm posting this in the event anyone runs into the same problem. Well it turns out the initial problem was the Fuel Pump. I replaced it with a brand new pump, but broke the plastic pressure valve (the white one) that plugs into the top of the pump. Word of advice: When pulling out the plastic plugs, twist left and right first. Dont try to pull the whole plug out at once, since the plastic can become brittle over time. I thought they were different colors so you knew which line was which, but it turns out, the valves are different internally. To avoid replacing the whole fuel line, I thought I could just replace it with another valve. The only one I could find at the junkyard was the black valve, so I used that, and it was actually preventing fuel from reaching the engine. $424 dollars at the repair shop and the car is back on the road. BTW, those fuel lines are hard nylon. They don't stretch. I'm guessing the tubes are heat shrunk around the valves, so don't think you can slide them off and slip another one on.
