Did you leave the internal fuel pump or replace it w/ an external. I replaced mine w/ an external pump from an 89 Ford F-150.

If the lines are good AND you have the return line installed right, only thing I can think of is taking a look at the fuel pump.

if its an electronic internal fuel pump you might wwant to just check the conecctions cuz my 93's leads were loose

with a s10 your fuel pressure will needs to be around 48 or 50 psi for the engine to run good so if you put a new inline pump then chances are you are not getting enough fuel if thats the case then i suggest you call summit or visit their site summitracing.com better to call tho and tell them your year/make/modle and then they will set you up with what you need

I ran into the same problem with my old dime. Summit carries a high pressure external fuel pump with a regulator to adjust the pressure. It's been about 10 years so I'm not sure of the part # but one of their techs should be able to help.

Also check your grounds...My ground kept shorting out causing my fuel pump to turn off after I installed my fuel cell. G'luck.

summit or jegs sells a MSD fuel pump. iv got that on mine, along with a friend of mine. the pump is only 80-85$ both had for over ayear now, no problems. btw 2000 s10 2.2, and my friend has a 2000 with a 4.3.

OK number of things. first CHECK FUSES. my blazer didn't run for 2 YEARS because of a 20 amp fucking fuse. ok now all fuses are good. open up fuel cell and look for the return fuel line and if it is returning fuel. if it is . your motor is getting fuel. next your you have 3 lines. a feed and return and a vent. Plug the vent or run that to your tank . thats all the probels and sollutons i have ever had.later
