Default 1996 Jimmy 4.3 Vortec

Almost everything on the vehicle has been replaced/rebuilt. Vehicle ran great, then P0134 (the code number may be wrong but this was the code result bank 1 sensor 1 oxygen sensor) I replaced it, vehicle ran even better. Drove it for 245 total afterwards miles then the tach jumped and dropped to 0 and the vehicle failed to start hasnt started since.

Does it crank?

I replaced an O2 sensor on my '92 but what I was doing turned out to be addressing a symptom and not the cause of the failure; a failing fuel injection spider.

Turned out the leakage from the fuel injector was dumping gas directly into the intake causing an over rich condition with lots of carbon build up on the sensor.

So it does crank but just won't start?

Any other electrical systems not working?

I'd double check that there is pressure in the fuel lines. Can you hear the pump working?

Default Just replaced fuel pump and spider a month ago. It was running showroom new until

Fuel pump and spider litterally brand new. This is definitely electrical. Like the key was just turned off

Sounds like a key, fundamental part of the electrical system has failed. You might have to go down to the most basic level and work your way up; e.g. start with the battery and battery connections, any fusible links to primary systems etc. That way you can start to isolate where the problem is.

Does it crank? No start with starter fluid? Do you have spark?
