I let my boss use my truck for about 5 mins yesterday. It started rite up when he left my work and drove down the street to pay a ticket. When he left the court house he said it started rite up for a bout 3 seconds and then just died. When i went up there to look at it i could not hear the the pump working. I changed that and i could now hear it pumping when i turned the key to prime the fuel lines. But i still cannot get it started. I have spark but cannot figure out why it is not starting. Any help would be appreciated!

 

See what happens when you let the boss use your truck? He did it on purpose!

Seriously, you need to run a fuel pressure test (detailed in many threads here) and let us know the results of that.

 

I do not own a fuel pressure gauge to check for proper pressure but i did check the valve on the fuel line and the engine is getting fuel.

 

but you need to know the EXACT amount of pressure as this is crucial. If you have good spark my bet is fuel related! Tell the boss you need a raise in order to fix his boo-boo! Just kidding! Jerry

 

Like Jerry said, you have to do a correct fuel pressure test. The gauage can be found for ~$30. Fuel spraying from the testvalve doesn't mean a thing.

And why not ask for a raise?

 

If you have a Harbor Freight near you, you can even get the fuel pressure tester for about $12....

 

Itook it to the shop!I Gave up on it.

 

i ve got a 2000 blazer doing the same thing it will start if i pour gas into the throttle body

 

Steve-a fuel pressure test is in order for you also! Jerry
