SOURCE: is there any way to test the injectors on my 98 chevy S10 4.3

DID you put in new gas, fuel treatment, new sock on fuel pump, all new fuel filters, buy inline fuel pressure gauge, check for codes?, this is not a carb where you pour fuel at it , do you have a repair manual for your truck and have you checked troubleshooting guide?

SOURCE: My Mazda mx3 starts up idles for a couple seconds then dies.

Before you replace the fuel pump, I would check the cheaiper parts first. Such as fuel filter and injectors.

SOURCE: I have a 1988 Chevy K2500, V8-350 cu. in with TBI.

Oil pressure switch puts power to the pump after it is started.

Pumps also tend to loose their ground with age. I often splice in a new ground at the pump to eliminate that problem area.

Need some votes, thanks

You say you replaced the fuel pump relay switch? The fuel pump relay is located in the passenger compartment on the right side under the dash. Little black box with a 6 pin plug. Replace that and your power to the pump should be restored . Had this happen on mine just last week. The relay actually monitors the alternator, key switch and a couple of fuses and will remove power from the pump if there is a fault. AutoZone stock number is 20550, costs about $50.

03 Chevy Silverado 4.3 crank No start. 0 fuel pressure. Details below

If the pump is starting, and you can hear it, then something in the tank is either intermitently blocking the inlet to the pump or something is blocking the line to the engine. It is also possible the pump pickup is not within the the fuel. However, it is not unusual for older vehicles to have corrosion in the metal fuel line caused by water or other contaminent in the fuel that breaks off and intermitently plugs the line or the filter.

Dying while driving uphill

Hate to tell you this, but unless you installed a
manufacturer fuel pump or the top couple brands
out there ,it may have failed again

If you ran the fuel low it failed for sure

You may have other issues as well going up hills

1986 chevy s10 pickup, has to sit with key on to be able to start first start of the day?

At that age and the high idling, I would start at the vacuum lines. They are cheap to replace and sometimes they get splits along the length that are hard to see.

My 1997 chevy tahoe will not start without starting fluid. I hear the fuel pump running and have changed the fuel pressure regulator already and the fuel filter. The pump is only a year old. Have checked...

IVE HAD PLENTY OF THESE GO OUT EVEN A MONTH LATER. AS FAR AS THE STARTING FLUID JUST TRY AND CYCLE KEY BUT KEEP IT FROM TURNING STATER OVER. TURN ON AND OFF ABOUT 3 TO 5 TIMES IT SHOULD BUILD ENOUGH PRESSURE TO START. TO START MINIMUN PRESS IS 55PSI.

HELP! HELP! SOMEONE PLEASE ! 2001 chevy blazer fuel problems

I would check to be on the safe side the fuel filter is going in the right direction. The arrow is pointing towards the engine away from the fuel tank, Then you need to make sure the fuel pump wiring connections are good contact and did not come loose when driving.
