There are two ECM fuses - marked ecm 1 and ecm B.
ECM B powers the fuel pump and the Veh control module which handles most of the sensors.
ECM 1 powers the ignition module, coil, injectors and the rest of the engine sensors.
You may need a repair book with diagrams to check all of the circuits for shorts.

SOURCE: fuel pump fuse located on 1997 gmc sierra

The fuse is actually a Relay Switch and its located in the Fuse Relay Center on the driverside of the engine compartment. The Black Box is labled Fuse Relay Center, the diagram on the cap displays which Relay is the Fuel Pump relay...the Relay switch is usually $8-$15 depending on where you shop

SOURCE: 1997 GMC Sierra Ignition Switch Replacement

take off the cover on the top and bottom of the steering column just behind the wheel. pop the tilt lever out simply just by grabbing it and give it a good tug. then once you have the new switch and you get in there your going to need an inverted torx socket to remove the small bolts that hold the switch to the column. do not move the gear on the new switch make sure it lines up exactly as the old one did!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOURCE: 1987 GMC sierra , no fuel pump power.

The inline fuel pump fuse on the passenger side firewall is good? Are you jumping it with 12 volts at the test lead or the fuse?

Blown fuse on fuel pump 1996 Ford explorer Replaced fuse drove vehicle home. Now it will not start.

A blown fuse is an indication of circuit overload. Did you replace the fuse with one of the same value or higher? is this the standard current rating for that circuit (usually marked on the fuse cover.

If the engine cranks remove a spark plug tape it to the intake manifold or somewhere where there is clean bare metal (please not near the battery) check for spark if ok reinstall plug if not replace the ECM fuse and relay with alternatives in the fuse box if this gets the pump going replace the ECM fuse and or relay then check for fuel turn on the ignition you should hear the pump run and then shutoff if not replace the pump fuse and relay with alternatives in the fuse box if this gets the pump going replace the pump fuse and or relay

My 94 s10 blazer won't start. Turns over hard. Pulled plugs, turns over easy. ECM fuse replaced-was bad. Fuel pump good,spider gets gas on plugs,distributor was loose,good spark on plugs.Plugs back in-...

what happened the last time it ran

did it run hot or ??

Check the oil - if none -- you could have turned a bearing. In that case, the next would be a compression test.

Best regards

1997 Chevy Suburban Changed fuel pump fuel filter relay new battery engine turns over but will not start. Getting spark. Took off fuel lines going in top of engine not pumping fuel. Any suggestions

There is a fuse that deals with the fuel pump circuit through the ECM. If you haven't checked it's in the fuse panel under the hood in the engine compartment on the drivers side by the brake master cylinder. I hope that you have a cover for it with the names of the fuses. The fuse you want to check will be the fuse marked "ECM B". I gave you a picture of the fuse layout but it's not a good one but I did put an arrow to the one I think it is. I pretty sure that's the one but not 100 percent because it's pretty blurry. In any case there is a fuse marked "ECM B". I would check there if you haven't already. Other than that You may have to check your wiring. There is a fuseable link at the starter you may want to check if that fuse isn't blown. I hope this helps and good luck.
