The fuel filter could be plugged. Check to see if you are getting fuel to the engine compartment by using the fuel pressure valve. It looks like an oversized tire stem, and will be located near the fuel delivery system in the fuel line.

1984 S10 wont run fuel coming out at pump but doesnt seem to supply carb. has new filer. when primed it runs for a few seconds.

Is this a carbed engine, that usually means mechanical fuel pump? Take fuel line loose from carb, aim into container, crank engine, does gas flow? If so, have to check float bowl in carb to see if any gas, if no gas, need a carb kit in my opinion.
I don't know liter size of engine? If fuel injected, let us know.

1997 tahoe quit running pouring gas in carb truck runs until gas is gone then stalls changed fuel pump what else could it be?

Your truck is fuel injected, so no carburetor is used.
Have you checked base fuel pressure with a gauge, and do you know for sure that the injectors are opening ?

Honda pilot out of gas put gas in and still won't start

false economy that.....
the pump is fuel cooled and Lubricated,
running it dry, wrecks the pump. (at the least lost the prime)

this car is no like an old carb car ,where this is ok.

if lucky key on and off 10 times, and hear the pump, it you hear it run.
it may prime. some cars 1/2 the pump is dead until cranked.
so easy to drain a battery priming the pump.

On my 97 balzer i cant get it running it will turn over and i do here the fulr pump but its not getting any gas in the motor. i have tryed pouring gas into the carb and it runs until the gas burns off i...

Check fuel pressure and volume. You may here the pump but it may be weak and not putting out enough volume to actually start the car. Putting gas down the throttle body could be dangerous and can actually start a fire.

1997 Safari will not start unless carb cleaner sprayed in air intake. runs after this. Confirm spark and motor rotation.

Have your fuel pressure checked.Sounds like pump or relay is out or fuel filter restricted too much.Remove the gas cap and put your ear to filler neck while someone turn's the key on,you should hear the pump running.pump run's for about 8 second's to prime fuel rail then shut's off till cranking.
