Asked by skybikertony Jul 09, 2016 at 06:18 PM about the 1995 Chevrolet S-10 2 Dr LS Extended Cab SB

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I can start the truck when I pour gas into it. But only for a second.  It with
crank fine but won't start.  It only gains to 22psi when I turn on the switch.
  Every thing tells me it should be 52 psi to 60 psi.
I can't get the fuel pump to activate with the test wire under the hold it's
been down a month and I've spent $500 on it already any help would be
appreciated.

You need at least 50 psi to fire the injectors. It's supposed to be between 55 and 65psi. Either your pump is weak, the regulator on the back of the injector spider is leaking/bad or the lines inside the plenum are bad. 22psi will not run the truck

Maintenance & Repair
After getting some "bad cheap fuel" a few weeks back in my 2001 chev s10, with a 4.3 v6, now I have a long cranking before it starts. The crank sensor was replaced and the crank sensor relearn was done. It still throws a code of a misfire, sometimes a code of multiple misfires. it runs fine one it starts, but at highway speeds it will throw the code on the dash, yet still run fine. I dont know if the spider is clogged or the fuel pump strainers,[2] are clogged. I have fuel pressure and it maintains it, on the guage. It almost sounds like the timing is off a bit. 3 answers

long cranking before starting, poor fuel mileage, 160k miles. tuned up at 146k. The engine always started on the first crank. No it cranks for 5-10 seconds before it slowly starts.
