Why is my fuel pump relay not working?

I have replaced the fuel pump relay oil pressure switch and computer. If you’re not getting a signal for fuel, then you either have a faulty crank sensor, or bad ignition module. But the truck runs great until you cut it off. If you poor a little gas in the intake to get it started would that only effect the starting ? Ok.

Why does my 1994 Chevy S-10 not start?

1994 Chevrolet S-10 4.3 tbi. I never get the signal to turn on the fuel pump or fire the injectors but if i poor gas in the intake once the truck starts it runs fine. Any ideas ? I have replaced the fuel pump relay oil pressure switch and computer.

Can a bad fuel pump start a truck?

Yes and have nothing. Well getting to start by adding fuel to the throttle body is not going to turn on some special switch that will send a signal to the pump and injectors. I’m sure you probably just have a bad fuel pump that doesn’t have enough pressure or volume to start the truck, but at running speed can keep up.

Is there a way to turn on the fuel pump?

There’s no way you have no signal, but then starting the truck by adding fuel will then turn on the injectors and pump. That’s just crazy. Good luck with that one. Once the truck starts and is running you can remove the jumper to the fuel pump and it will continue to run.
