Cut a flap door in the box. Three sides cut and one to fold on. Use this panel to access the fuel pump. Done a few buddies trucks this way. I drive Fords so I've never had to do one of mine.

Hey everyone. Hope everyone is enjoying the weather and staying busy. I am in a bit of a dilema. I picked up a 1999 chevy 3/4 ton and it isn't running. After getting it home i started looking into the reason for it to not start. Wondering if anyone on here knows a few things about the 5.7L vortec?
What it's doing now: turns over. Fuel pump is working and fuel is flowing. I replaced fuel filter. The engine has spark and will fire and stay running for about 10 to 15 seconds with gas being poured down the throttle body.
Gas smelt terrible. Had 1/4 tank in it when I got it. I added 5 gallons of fresh gas to the tank. Still no fire. The previous owner said it is the rotor that is bad. To me the rotor isn't bad if the engine has spark.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I need to get this truck up and running asap as it is my firewood delivery truck.
I'd be willing to give beer? For anyone who might be able to stop over and have a look at it? I'm not able to get it to a shop due to low funds. Hence the need to sell firewood.
Any Information is greatly appreciated.
Thanks everyone!

I've seen that done. I was going to suggest that but you beat me to it.Cut a flap door in the box. Three sides cut and one to fold on. Use this panel to access the fuel pump. Done a few buddies trucks this way. I drive Fords so I've never had to do one of mine.
If you don't have at least 45psi, it probably the pump not the pressure regulator. I've heard of people having over 40psi and no start.Fuel pump isn't bad. It's pumping fuel. I will get fuel pressure tonight and maybe try to replace the fuel pressure regulator.

But think of all the potential stools.Helluva shame
Any progress?I probably didn't need a new fuel pump. I should have checked the ground connection before getting the new pump.

I was just up there a couple of weeks ago for IWA Watercross and a Hairball concert. Rained three inches in half an hour on Saturday. Town flooded out for an hour. Was kinda neat.Any progress?
