BMW Repair/Clutch

Question
1984 BMW 318i - clutch pedal goes to floor with no resistance.
Also, will not start. no fuel getting to the plugs. I have spark.
If I disconnect the fuel line will the fuel pump squirt fuel out when I turn the key to start it.
I replaced the relay already. Thanks

Answer
Check your brake fluid to make sure it is not low and the pedal will come back if it is low.But if it is low you need to know why.Could be brakes or clutch  related,something is leaking.
About the fuel,use a fuel pressure gauge it is safer.Plus you can't tell the pressure like that,it is over 30 psi.
