HELP S10 not geting fuel

yea pump is not kicking on n ill work on it all day n go back the next day n it will work wtf. i hit the pump but nothing, i fallowed all the wires n they look good.it ran before i BD it but ran like shit would some times back fire r smell gas. help what can i do to get around this r easy way to check the pump or fix it i got a show in a week n this was not on the to do list. thanks george

its easier to put a fuel pump on by pulling the bed off just have a couple of buds help u shouldnt take a hour to a hour n a half

check the fuel pump ground first...its back by the tail light wires on the drivers side frame rail...sounds like the pump is going out tho...there is also a fuel pump relay behind the dash on the pass side (if your wiring is still stock)...check that

when's the last time you changed your fuel filter? after mine was in my buddy's body shop for a year and a half, it ran fine for 2 weeks, then it would'nt start. it'd crank and turn over then die. i let it sit, tried it the next morning, no problems. was fine for a week or so, then same thing happened. my fuel filter was clogged from sitting for so long. we started it every couple of weeks or so, but it still got jacked up. i say try that, especially if it's been sitting for a while when you bd it.

yea your fuel pump is going out.I had the same problem. Get some friends pull the bed and it's right on top easy to get to and replace. good luck

thanks guys! by any chance does any one know were that relay is under the dash? i know there the ones that were on the fire wall n i replaced them. also is there a way to hard wire the pump - put power to it to make sure it is the pump n does any one know what wires would be hot?

try puttin starter fluid in your air intake. if it starts for a sec then dies its your fuel pump then you have to change it it took me bot four hours i had the same problem i was bout to move from amarillo to austin and day befor it went out
