98 chev died and wont start

[tonsoftroubles]

I have a 98 chev with a 4.3 vortec engine. It died on me the other day while driving, then after 20 minutes it started up just fine. so i got it home and now it doesnt start at all. its getting spark and gas but doesnt even try to fire, ive replaced plugs, wires, cap, and rotor. and still nothing. anyone have any ideas???

Is it getting fuel to the cylinders, or just to the service port on the fuel rail? Check to make sure the injectors are firing.

When my 97 5.7 did exactly this, it was the fuel pump dying.
Get a pressure gauge on it.

yea check the fuel pressure. I think around 60 PSI is required to get a vortec
