Do you have to use the spray to keep it running? Will it run on its own once it is started?

 

Can you confirm fuel pressure at the test port?

Yes it starts when I spray starting fluid,havnt cchecked the pressure though.but has a new fuel pump

When you stop spraying the starting fluid does it die?

 

Really sounds like no fuel from the injectors.

 

A fuel pressure gauge on the test port would answer a bunch of questions. 

 

Cycle the key from off to run a few times, then kit the schrader valve, fuel should spray out (not dribble). If it doesn't the new fuel pump isn't pumping. Check power to pump or lines for blockage. 

 

Make sure the lines are clear between the pump and filter and filter and fuel rail. 

 

Incorrect key shuts down fuel delivery too.

Hey Thanks for the help! I've did all of that also. It's sprayed out great at the valve. I've also listened to each injector to see if they were getting fire, and I think th y are. I heard a click on each one of them. So do you have any ideas what to check? Could it be a Circuit or something like that? It's also got a new air filter. And again thanks for the help! I appreciate you..!

First of all you are in the wrong sub forum

Second of all does it continue running after you stop spraying the fluid lmfao we understand that it starts but will it continue running?

Did it run before with the key you are using? (I can't remember how the theft deterrent shuts down fuel - it could be commanding the injectors off)

 

Fuel pump is pressurizing the rail, that's why you can get a spray of fuel at the test port. Need to put a pressure gauge on it to see where that pressurized fuel is going  or not going or if it strong enough. 

 

Ignition is working otherwise it wouldn't run on starting fluid. 

 

Compressions is probably okay as well as air intake because it wouldn't run on starting fluid with out those. 

 

It sounds like again you are running it on starting fluid because fuel isn't getting into the cylinders. I would recommend swapping the starting fluid for gasoline in a squirt bottle and see that it continues to run.

 

What was the lead up to the problem(s)?

Don't bother checking fuel pressure its clearly is not getting fuel.

check the fuel pump relay. And if all is good load test the power and ground with a head light bulb at the tank to make sure you have power and ground. And yes use a headlight bulb. headlight bulb draws more amps then a tradition test light

It acted Like it was out of gas,I'm going to try what you said with the gasoline And I'm also gonna check to see if I have water in my guest And again thanks for the help!

You didn't say if you bought a new fuel pressure regulator so I am assuming you did not? If you want to do a quick $40 check you could go buy a new FPR and see if that fixes your issues.

 

If you had access to a scan tool I believe that it would tell you if it is some sort of VATS issue like if the truck was not reading the key properly and causing

Kragen's and AutoZone will lend you a fuel pressure gage to test the pressure at the rail. 

 

for background,

1) What made you put a new fuel pump in the truck. (might be a stupid question to you but its not to the people that are helping)?

2) is this truck new to you?

3) if its not new to you, what, if any, changes did you make?

Its not getting (any or enough) fuel into the cylinders. It is getting fuel to the rail, unknown if it is of sufficient pressure. OP noted that fuel is spraying out the test port.

ok you guys are way over thinking this. even if its not getting fuel or not enough fuel. load test the wires going to the pump is gonna tell you both. if you don't have a solid power and ground at the pump you may only have 5 psi. if you don't have  power or ground you might have a relay problem or wiring problem. either way you have to verify the circuit. if you have a high amp head light bulb and it lights up bright i can tell you that pump is junk. but if its dim you have a wiring issue (high resistance wire) fuel pump takes a lot of amps to run them. you cant use an led test light or a multimeter. But i will state this if you do have a good power and ground at the pump it wouldn't hurt taking a fuel sample to make sure there isn't water in the tank. but that fact that you can spray break clean in the throttle body and you can keep it running is telling me the cylinders are not flooded out. i can supply wire diagrams if need be.

Respectfully, I think it would be easier to confirm pump by checking the fuel pressure at the rail. Then begin diagnosing the pump wiring if fault is found with pressure.

      Gas Prices

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
