Lift pump runs but no fuel to filter housing

Working on a '00 won't start and found that we have no fuel coming out of the return line off the VP, so took the cap off the filter and pulled the filter and bumped the key lp runs but no fuel.

Is there any fuel in the tank? The gauges lie on these. Next I would check the lift pump. Just because it runs does not mean it pumps fuel. The electrical part of the pump could work, but the pump part might have failed. If the pump will pull a vacume then check for air leaks between the pump and the tank.

There's a bushing that holds the motor shaft to the impeller that broke in the stock LP. Common problem. There's no fix.
