Going down the road truck just quits-- happened a month ago and the fuel injector electrical just came loose and plugged it back in-- well now that is not the case, truck is turning over great (fast and smooth), fuel rail does have gas in it, the fuel pump is activating, just replaced fuel filter, tune up (new plugs, wires, cap and rotor), I checked the wiring harnesses and everything is connected-- could someone tell me what am I overlooking-- I would really appreciate it!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

Does the truck start up again?
Are there any codes?

The truck will not start- smooth and fast turn over-- "seems" like its not getting gas--service engine light was on for a bank 1 o2 sensor- there was some surging going on with it earlier today when idling, but no loss of power---

Got spark?

What do you have for fuel pressure?

How about the connector at the base of the distributor? Still connected?

Hope we can help.

Spark is there on all 8-- fuel pressure-- I do not have a tester, but there is fuel in the rail, I checked that by pressing on the service nozzle (the fuel sprayed out like it was and aeresol can)-- The wiring harness at the distributor is connected. I changed the fuel pump relay switch just as a "stab in the dark", dont ask me why I did that since there is fuel in the rail-- This morning it gave me a hard time starting but it did start after about 3-5 seconds, ussually it fires right up!! I hope someone here can help me, this forum is awesome!! I love my truck and my back up vehicle is a 96 geo, but that is not so bad since gas is at 2.07 a gallon!! But its so DAMNED SMALL!!
Thanks GM TECH!!

Well I replaced the ignition coil because some tranny fluid got onto the wiring harness, the fuel pressure is at 64 psi, the wire at the base of the distributor is connected and there are no signs of damage to any of the wires-- Iam totally at a loss here and very CONFUSED!!!!!! Hope someone can help me!! Thank you
