Default Not starting

Hi! I'm new here so i hope someone can help me. I have a 95 cadillac deville that wont start. Last week i ran over a piece of wood and it hit my fuel tank due to the car sitting low in the rear. My car shut-off and now will not start. I checked the fuel pump and it's working, just not sending fuel up to throttle body. The car starts and run only if i pour fuel into throtle body but shuts off once fuel has burned. Can someone help me with my problem? Why am i not getting gas to the throtle if the fuel pump is pumping?

have you checked the fuel lines from the pump to the throttle body? you need to make sure its connected right, the wood might of knocked it.

I'VE FIXED THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE WOOD HIT MY TANK(plastic) IT DEMOLISHED MY FUEL PUMP INSIDE OF TANK. THE PLASTIC HOUSING THAT SURROUNDS AND PROTECT THE PUMP WAS BROKE OFF, THE PUMP ITSELF WAS NOT CONNECTED TO THE SENDER UNIT AND OTHER PIECES WERE BROKEN OFF. THE PUMP WAS STILL WORKING BUT NOT CONNECTED TO THE SENDER UNIT. I REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ONE, AT THE COST OF $229 AND TWO DAYS OF MY TIME. I'M DISABLED AND THATS WHY IT TOOK ME SO LONG. NEVERTHELESS, MY BABY IS BACK ON THE ROAD. THANKS 4 YOUR INPUT AND IF I COULD HELP U WITH YOUR CAR PROBLEM, PLEASE INQUIRE TO MY EMAIL...BIGSEXYSR44@YAHOO.COM. AGAIN MAN, THANKS.
