1996 4.3L P/U 2wd.
Truck stalled a few times yesterday. Today wont start. A squirt of starter fluid gets it running a few seconds. All the injectors have power.
I can hear the fuel pump go on.
Hooked up a pressure gauge to the test port. measured 50psi with the return line pinched off (same reading without pinching off the return).
Will this slightly low pressure prevent the truck from running and starting?
If so i guess I will change the pump and filter while at it. Need to siphon out half a tank of gas which is a drag. At least it's a CA car so no rust under there. There is a strap in the front part of the tank that appears straight forward but the rear strap also has a steel member bolted to the frame that appears more difficult to remove. I will do this alone so lifting off the bed is not an option.
