Pump needs to be checked for pressure and VOLUME of flow. It may move fuel but not enough of it.

SOURCE: 97 z71 vortec 5.7 replaced fuel pump.getting fuel but won't start

The # 5 cylinder is miss firing. not getting fuel. Could the injector just be stopped or the crankshaft sensor in gone.

SOURCE: 2001 chevy blazer extreme 4.3, fuel pump

Begin by spraying all attachment bolts with a good solvent, then remove fill neck at the top. (where you put gas in) Disconnect harness, remove attachment bolts part way, support tank with a jack. disconnect one side and let the tank come down a bit, then disconnect fuel and vent lines etc. Label them so you know where to put them back. (Many have plastic couplers for which parts stores sell a tool to remove them without damage...have that tool on hand before you begin) Remove other fastener and lower tank to the ground. It's best to have the tank nearly empty to begin, but if not, it really isn't too bad coming down. Definitely empty it and clean the insides out before putting it back up though.The pump itself is held in either by a collar that is turned and locks in place or a "c" clip around the perimeter. Make sure that you clean the "o" ring under the mount plate and put it back on re-assembly. Use care when removing and re-installing pump that you do not damage the float arm or you will have a gas gauge problem later.
No smoking within at least fifty feet and no electric power tools or drop lights. Gasoline is relatively safe to work around as long as there are no sparks or open flames anywhere nearby. If they are, it is very dangerous.

SOURCE: truck cranks but won't start

I just a very similar issue with my 1997 Chevy K1500. I changed all of the fuel components and the issue turned out to be the two prong thermostat sensor on the front of the engine. If your car will start by pressing the gas pedal all the way to floor then the issue most likely is the same. A code engine reading from that sensor will cause the vehicle to not shift into overdrive, degrade gas mileage, and make the truck hard to start when the engine is warm. If it isn't starting when cold check the fuel pressure at the injectors turn the key on and the pressure should go to about 65 psi and when you turn the key off the pressure should hold to about 60 psi.

I have a 1996 chevy z71 5.7 vortec. we replace the motor with a new long block. all we had to do is put the intake on it. replaced the rotor and the pick up coil. checked fuel and getting fuel from the...

I believe I have answered this at least twice already. The pick-up coil is what tells the ECU to fire the injectors. If the ECU is not getting the signal then either the pick-up coil is no good, not getting power, or not properly grounded. The same for the ECU....it must get power, the signal from the pick-up coil, and a ground.

1998 suzuki baleno 1.6 stalling

most cars, with too low fuel in tank will stall.
the pump sucks air in the tank , the pressure drops to zero
and the EFI now injectos , yes, AIR.
cars dont run on AIR. only.
the tank pump is fuel lubricated and fuel cooled.
so you are killing the pump.
and inviting lots of rust to form on the the top of the tank.

these are all facts. now you can deal with full delt hand.

What should the fuel pressure read on a 1998 gmc z71 5.7 vortec

sounds like your fuel pump, should be 50-55psi fuel pressure, if you don't have a gage,you could check the schrader valve on the rail with screw driver,watch out if it's pressurized it could squirt in your eye's if it shoot's out really strong,chances are it's working, but if it just does little squirt or dribble, then check it out electrically, fuse,relay etc:before you drop the tank, or like some people do take box bolts out and lift box back and it's easier to change pump then.good luck and any other questions feel free to ask me

My 1998 chevy z71 truck will turn over but will not start

If the truck turns over, but will not start. The most common problem is the fuel pump. When you turn the key to the ON position, you should hear the fuel pump run for about 2 seconds. You may have to open the gas cap to hear it. If you can't hear it with the gas cap off, then that is going to be your problem. They are in the top of the fuel tank. And they are not real easy to change. You either have to drop the fuel tank or take the bed off. I personally take the bed off. It is a lot easier if you have a couple of people to help you. Dropping the tank is no fun at all. Plus it makes getting the ring that holds the fuel pump in a lot more difficult to get off.

This sounds llike weak feul pressure, the fuelpump may need replacing, the first thing to do is have the fuel pressure tested and if the pressure is low then have the pump replaced. the pump is located inside the fuel tank and the tank will need to be dropped to replace the pump, good luck ,

When fuel drops below 1/2 tank wont start, sometimes stalls when running. Can fuel pump be losing prime when tank gets lower? When I add fuel then pump accelerator it starts

You may have a problem in your tank....sounds like a faulty pick up tube? maybe screen is dirty and if you have a pinhole in tube, it would act like that.
