1995/October Chevy 1500 5.0 V8 will not start

Asked by Teresa Apr 11, 2018 at 08:09 PM about the 1995 Chevrolet C/K 1500 Silverado Extended Cab RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Died upon take off like it ran out of gas.  Replaced fuel
pump, fuel injector sensor and Throttle Position Sensor.  
Checked filter, gas passing through with no problems.  Gas
is getting to injector and squirts out with no problem.  Just
not getting into throttle.   Only starts when fluid is added to
the throttle and then burns out.  Have no idea what to do
next.  Need suggestions please.  Oh, and all fuses are fine.

Well, if you have fuel entering the chamber ( like you said you do ) and have spark (which you must have if it runs on starting fluid) then it should start.

Here is a picture. Fuel lines have gas in them. So why is there no fluid getting to the throttle?????? At a complete loss.

Here's a question for you. So, if we find out the pressure isn't just right., then what? How do we increase the pressure with a brand new pump?
