could be a bad fuel filter

Check your filter your main relay thats the thing that you hear click when you first turn the key and the engine light comes on. If its neither one of those check the fuel filter.

just replaced fuel filter....and i hear the main relay click

see it the ecu is throwing codes

[alky350]

how would i do that?

[alky350]

is there anyway to test the fuel pump....i did a pressure test and it was reading between 35-40 psi.

[jusg19]

if you unscrew the "out" fuel hose from the filter, you can see if its pumping through the filter.

2) pull up the carpet on the pass floor, ecu is under there.....look for the codes there
