1990chevy suburban 2500 350 died while driving and won't restart I can hear the fuel pump turn on I have changed the fuel filter and still nothing what's next

I have changed the fuel filter and can hear the fuel pump when I turn key on. I disconnected the full line at the throttle body and have gas flow but no gas out of the tbi when key is turned to crank the engine. Pour gas directly and it runs for 10 seconds and dies any ideas?

    I have spark the truck runs for ten seconds when I pour gas directly into throttle body. Somebody told me there's a ECM module in the distributor cap that would cause this any truth to that?

    Changed fuel pump and filter still won't start. Still not getting gas out of injectors checked voltage to the injectors it's at 12.62 what would be the next step in the trouble shooting process

Check for spark, no spark, no fire engine wont run, possible bad ignition coil, wire from coil to distributor cap, no power to ignition coil from ignition switch (rare) wire broken to ignition coil (even rarer)

    overlooked the gas poured down throttle body (my bad) it has to be a fuel problem as the engine starts and runs if it has fuel, could be bad tps (throttle positioning sensor) i think there might be a fuse for that component on the chevys, have you checked to see if fuel is being discharged into the throttle body while engine is cranking? may need a friend to turn ignition to accomplish this task

    found some info on the net that maybe of help

    test the fuel pressure. it needs to be done with a fuel pressure tester. This is done by testing on the feed line to the throttle body. The fuel system needs to see 9-13 psi of fuel pressure. If the pressure is lower, you may not actually have enough fuel pressure to operate the injectors as they should. You may also want to climb under the truck and located the middle sized fuel line that runs to the tank. This is the return line. If you gently pinch this line off, it will boost the fuel pressure. This may allow for the truck to run, if it does, we can be certain that fuel pressure is the issue

I have a 1988 Dodge Dynasty that acts like it's vapor locking.

yes fuel pump is dying (it's old ) it will finnaly give up the ghost some day soon then engine won't run at all

common problem pump heats up and shuts off cools off and runs again cyclic

this all assumes you have kept up on changing the fuel filter at reg intervals too

1998 4-Runner 3.4L 4X4 dies while driving

Hello;
Check your fuel pressure. Sounds like the pump is going away on you. Also change your fuel filter. Fuel pump is in the tank, filter is on the frame rail. Hope this helps; rate me highly.
Thanks;
