The car has bee stored for a few months. ran good when put away. When removed from storage the battery had gone bad. Removed it and installed new battery. Now car cranks over but does not start. Found that fuel pump was bad, installed new pump. After install car would not tart unless some fuel was sprayed into intake. Would run but very rough and blak smoke. Would not idle. When I let it idle it quit now will not go. Does not seem to be power to pump. Anti theft light flashing. The car has a viper security system installed. System disarms no problem. Any ideas would help

Did you change the fuel filter when you changed the pump? Long storage could mean a clogged filter.

Did you stabilize the fuel?

Change filter and if it is dirty then chance are you will need to take the injectors out and have them cleaned, local shops can do this for you. Its really not to hard. Next time use fuel stabilizer. Good luck and post an update.
