Maybe the fuel pump is bad? Maybe there's a break in the wire going to the pump? (Less likely) Have someone listen down by the gas tank when you turn the key to the run position. Do not crank the engine. Just turn forward to normal running position and see if your helper can hear the pump run within the first two seconds of turning the key. You're trying to find out if it's a fuel or spark problem.
Can you hear the fuel pump engage when you first turn the key forward? Do not attempt to turn on the truck but just place it in the on position you should be able to hear and feel the fuel pump for approximately 3 seconds. If not you have a fuel pump relay problem if not the pump itself.
try replacing fuel pump relay in fuse box , also turn key forward till dash lights come on with out starting it see if u hear fuel pump , if not most likely fuel pump when out
Turn your key forward just enough to see if you fuel pump turn on. You might have to have someone listen for it while you turn the key. Only turn to acc so the dash lights come on sound to me like your not getting any fuel to the motor.
The next thing I would check is to make sure the fuel pump inertia switch isn't tripped. It's located in the trunk, on the side. You should see a little hole. Looking inside, you'll see a button that faces up. Push down on it. If it clicks down, chances are, you found your problem. This switch is used as a fuel pump cutoff in the event of a collision, so fuel doesn't feed a potential engine fire.
This exact same thing happened to me, it can be a number of problems. You might not have enough battery charge to get the car going since the fuel pump in this car is electronic, my car did not start but when i took it to a mechanic thinking the battery was perfect because lights and all were on they jump started it and it started then immediately died, i also had a choke pull off failure, leaks in my carburetor, and the float was to heavy causing flooding. 185 dollars later and a rebuilt carburetor my car had a smooth idle and turned on immediately after turning ignition. but then to find out my alternator was bad hence the battery only having enough power for the radio and lights.so in short try jumping the car even though the battery seems good, check your carb or get it checked by a mechanic, then check if your alternator is ok. if i waited for two days without attempting to start car then trying it would start if i held the ignition and pushed the gas pedal down until it started. (see if thats the case for you) my guess is you carb, battery, and alternator.
fuel pump died replaced it truck ran poorly afterwards. Had a prussuer test done pump determend pump was no good. Put in another ran good for 2 days started running poorly hard to start no power. 2nd fuel pump. So i figure another bad new fuel pump wow changed it put in a third brand new fuel pump. Still will not eve start now. I had it tuned up 2 months ago new plugs rotor, cap, etc. put in a new fuel filter made sure it is on proper checked all connections for leaks. this cannot be a fuel pump problem now. no problem with the elctrical i figure i have great spark on ignition tester. I can hear the fuel pump prime when i turn the key. but when i went and checked the fuel port i had no pressure. When it is being cranked gas sews out of the test port. Also i dont if this is comon cause i used to turn my keyand go. but when i have someone turn the key and i listen at the gas tank whn the key is shut off i hear gs spraying back into the gas tank. So i am open for opinions.
