i was driving down the road and BAM it just died, no sputtering no jumping just plain died like it ran outta gas, i pulled off the road and wont start ive let it sit and waited and still wont start just cranks over and over and over.


BUT the fuel pump is good and it is getting fire from the coil

 

So how did you determine that the fuel pump is "good"..? Did you run a fuel pressure test? Having the proper fuel pressure (~60psi) is essential to a properly running SCFI engine (assuming that your user name means something about your vehicle since you have provided no other vehicle information).

Also, if you did not check the timing of the spark or its intensity with the proper tools, then it is still unknown as to whether the spark is occurring at the precise moment required or if it is truly strong enough to support combustion.

 

i poured some gas into the intake and it would start or attempt to so iam assuming its the injectors/spider.

 

That could still mean a bad fuel pump. You need like swartlkk said, a fuel pressure test. I did that to verify that my pump IS actually dieing. You pour the fuel in it fires over and then dies means it is using up the fuel you poured in and then has no more. A quick check is to push the plunger at the test port on the fuel line. If I remember the 98 right it should be on the line back near the distributor. that's where you'll do the pressure test. But this way you can see if it's getting ANY fuel.

 

Most definitely run a fuel pressure test. Without doing so, you can replace some very expensive parts in hopes that they fix the problem.

 

were do u get a tester at

 

Many times you can rent one from a local autoparts store

 

screw that!! they want 150.00 just to rent one and i can buy a fuel pump for that and be done with it. i talked to my mechanic and he told me he bet money that its fuel pump so thats wat im gonna do just replace the pump

 

$150... I bought my tester for $30. I have an older version of the Actron CP7818 available at Autozone for $40.

And unless you want to be replacing your pump again quickly, do not jump on those "deals" you find. AC Delco or Delphi only!

 

I found one used in a farley new and low mileage blazer wrecked at local junk yard
