dude..I had a similar thing over the summer on my Tahoe..turned out one of the fuel lines got caught on something and kinked it...like in the area where it goes from the frame up to the injector...have you pressure tested it at the injector?

this is an easy problem to diagnose. First make sure your pump is being powered, if you can connect your fuel pump to a power source manually and see if fuel is being pumped(you can just dump it into a can or something) if thats the case hook the filter up, again with the hose just dumping into a can see if the fuel makes it past the filter. If not well there you go, then check to see if that fuel makes it to the TBI, if so check those injectors.

those pigtails at the pump are notorious, did they give you a new one? also, you sure you didnt get a shit pump? are you getting pressure anywhere like lobdy mentioned???

well its a pretty simple design, i you pull the line right before the TBI manually power the fuel pump and no fuel flows and the pump is functioning then something is wrong in the lines. Clogged? Crimped?
