You can start here:
P030x - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected

Does the pressure bleed off at all after the pump shuts off?

When was the last time a tune up was performed? Plugs, wires, cap & rotor?

Default 1994 vortex 4.3 blazer wont start

I think it is the fuel pump, good spark at coil and plugs and with key on no pressure at shrader at all and no noise at fuel tank. Sound like a lot of people chasing something. How hard is it to change pump in tank?

I replaced the pump in the tank, not to bad 6 hours had to stop and get a get 18mm inpack socket, Autozone, had pump for 76$ and the pump and screen and sending unit for 96$ shucks said same part number with out sender 96$ with sender 216.00 same part the said Autozone has it wrong, I bought it from Autozone and paid 96$ for it all. Didn't know the pump is cooled by the gas and driving around on 1/8 a tank will over heat the pump. Good info. It was the Airtex, brand I will let you know how long it last. Thanks for all the info.
