Now if i put gas into carb it will start for a while then shut off i replaced the fuel filter ,but before finished i did that i cranked it and fuel came out of the line what could it be the trcuk was not driven for over a year
If you are getting gas from the fuel line the pump is working, but still may not have enough volume or pressure to start the truck. More than likely it will be the fuel pump.
Fuel pump......... smack the gas tank while cranking should start check the fuel pump relay you can jump the two big prongs on this that is the fuel pump good luck

Could be a small amount of rust got into fuel filter from sitting empty, try changing fuel filter before worrying about the fuel pump.Filters could be partly plugged and its always smart to start with the cheaper fixes first.
If the tps (throttle position sensor) gives a high signal it will put the computer in clear flood mode which shuts off the fuel injector. Easy test, unplug the tps and try to start it. The tps is the 3 wire sensor at the end of the throttleplate If not suspect the ignition module under the distributor cap.
This truck is fuel injected, the problem sounds like a weak fuelpump, it runs when you pour gas into it until that gas runs out, the first thing is to test the fuel preasure, if the pump is weak it may run with gas poured into it but wont idle, also a common problem is the coolant temp sensor and the ground wires to thermostat housing bolt but i wont bet its the pump inside the fuel tank, if you put a fuel gauge on it there should be at least 55-61 psi if its a few pounds lower it can cause problems, you have everything else and it runs with gas poured so its a fuel problem check the preasure, theres a valve up top on the fuel line to connect a fuel gauge to it, start there hope this is helpful.
well if its a 1999, it wont have a carb, it has fuel injection.take your fuel filter off and clean it or put a new on one, that should fix the problem. check your hoses too.
Are you sure it is getting spark to the plugs? Did you check fuel pressure? It still may be getting some fuel but not enough. Is it fuel injected or car berated?
Do this, take the top off the carb, being careful not to damage the gasket. Then take some carb cleaner and clean out the bowl and floats. Remove the needle valve and clean it out. Put it all back together and filling the bowl with carb cleaner. Start it with the starting fluid. Once you run the carb cleaner through it, it should start to run on it's own. Whatever you do don't shut it off for about 20-30 min unless you have to.
