Cut a flap door in the box. Three sides cut and one to fold on. Use this panel to access the fuel pump. Done a few buddies trucks this way. I drive Fords so I've never had to do one of mine.

Fuel pump isn't bad. It's pumping fuel. I will get fuel pressure tonight and maybe try to replace the fuel pressure regulator.

Sounds like bad fuel in the line and you may need to run a ohm test on injectors volt test on power plugs to injector and pressure test fuel system

Hey everyone. Hope everyone is enjoying the weather and staying busy. I am in a bit of a dilema. I picked up a 1999 chevy 3/4 ton and it isn't running. After getting it home i started looking into the reason for it to not start. Wondering if anyone on here knows a few things about the 5.7L vortec?

What it's doing now: turns over. Fuel pump is working and fuel is flowing. I replaced fuel filter. The engine has spark and will fire and stay running for about 10 to 15 seconds with gas being poured down the throttle body.

Gas smelt terrible. Had 1/4 tank in it when I got it. I added 5 gallons of fresh gas to the tank. Still no fire. The previous owner said it is the rotor that is bad. To me the rotor isn't bad if the engine has spark.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I need to get this truck up and running asap as it is my firewood delivery truck.

I'd be willing to give beer? For anyone who might be able to stop over and have a look at it? I'm not able to get it to a shop due to low funds. Hence the need to sell firewood.

Any Information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone!

I've seen that done. I was going to suggest that but you beat me to it.

If you don't have at least 45psi, it probably the pump not the pressure regulator. I've heard of people having over 40psi and no start.

 

[mortalitool]

So I did the fuel pressure test tonight and it tells me I'm at 10psi. I'll be cutting the flap in the box. All you guys who thought it was the fuel pump can say I told ya so. Haha.

Us armchair quarterbacks are just playing the law of averages. No skills required.

Everything work out with the truck?

 

[mortalitool]

Still working on the truck. New fuel lines to and from engine. New fuel pump. New fuel pump ground wire. Replacing fuel pressure regulator tonight. It starts on its own then dies after about 10 seconds.

I probably didn't need a new fuel pump. I should have checked the ground connection before getting the new pump.

Watched a major removal along Summit Avenue today.

Lots of equipment (most not in this photo). Big holes left behind. Looks like the owner decided to remove several old growth trees.

I was just up there a couple of weeks ago for IWA Watercross and a Hairball concert. Rained three inches in half an hour on Saturday. Town flooded out for an hour. Was kinda neat.
