1995 318ti

Alright, so two weeks ago I went to start the monster (if you could see it you'd understand the nickname lol) and, surprise, it didn't start.

blah blah blah, fuel pump was bad, replaced the fuel pump, one of the wires came lose and touched the other and it blue the fuel pump fuse, got that fixed and finally got the pump back into the tank (and replaced the fuel filters as well)

Well, it still won't start. Engine turns over but it's clearly not getting any gas. It's getting spark from the plugs.
Fuel pump is kicking on and It's pulling fuel up.

Car started with starter fluid, but when we revved the engine it choked and died.

Any suggestions? I know when i changed the filter it was full of grit, so i'm wondering if a clogged line is possible,or if it's air? Any useful hints to check?
