"to" the pump?  Isn't the pump internal?

If you meant the fuel line "from" the pump (going to the engine),
then it sounds like blockage between the pump and the fuel rail.
There might be a fuel filter near the tank that is clogged (there's
one on my '94, and it's the size of a soda can).  Or you may have
hit something that crushed the fuel line under the car.
