Default Replaced fuel pump and filter, still won’t start!
I have a 2001 S10 with a 2.2 flex fuel. Recently my truck stalled out on me and wouldn’t start. It turns over just fine. I tested the relay it’s fine. I replaced the fuel pump and the filter and it still won’t start. I’m lost and very frustrated at this point. Please help!

What gasoline are you using? I know it shows flex fuel, I am not understanding that with a 2001 s-10 unless it is european.

Regular gas, that’s just the type of filter it took.

Are you getting spark? You may have an ignition/electrical issue? Spray some fuel into the throttle body, if it runs for a few seconds then it is a gas problem.

What about your oil pressure?How much oil pressure do you have at idle?What`s your oil pressure while driving?The reason for asking this is because both oil pressure sending unit/fuel pump work tandomly together.If you have a faulty oil pressure sending unit..Your engine will turn over but won`t start.One more question. Is your Check engine/service engine soon light on?If so check for codes.
