my truck wont start, fuel system help

there are a couple ways to check it you could put a fuel pressure gage on it and cut on the truck, but that only tells you if it is working or you could get like a power window motor and get a fuel pump harness plug it in if it turns the motor you have a bad pump.

you can tap in with the fuel gage on the fuel injector rail there should be a black cap over the end of the line just like an a/c line.

ive got the same deal on my 97 fullsize except it has a hesitation when u step on the peddle. it usually doesnt die though

ya mine hesitates like that too but then dies after a few seconds

Yeah the inside of the plug in was melted and that was my problem

if you want to test to see if its your fuel pump...just spray starter fluid in the intake when your truck isnt starting....if it sarts up with the fluid in there than you know your truck isnt getting fuel......if it doesnt it is something else.

wow, thanks for all the input guys, ive heard its an offen occurance to have issues with the fuel pump on the second gen s10/nomas, is that true? cuz i had it replaced a couple years back. anyone know the price of a new one or a good place to get one for a fair price?

anyone?

hey, sounds like the same damn thing with my van, for a while it would just run like crap and my service engine soon light would come on, then when it died... i couldnt start it for a few hours, and lately, when it dies, it takes forever and alot of starting fluid to get it started, if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, lemme know, sounds almost exactly like the problems you guys are having

Dude im still haveing problems with mine but open your glove box the first relay is for the fuel pump turn your key if it clicks that means your realy could be the whole problem ive been through 2 fuel pumps and a sending unit in the past 2 months now the damn thing is acting like its not getting eny gas does enyone know if there is a fuel cutoff on s10s?
