basic trouble shooting time... check that there is spark and move on to the fuel system if there is... possibly poured to much gas down and it's flooded.

P.S. if that is an old engine with lots of miles on it and you poured too much gas down the carb you may want to check your oil... raw gas may have leaked down into the oil pan as well

SOURCE: 98 GMC starting problems

Take off your gas cap and have someone stand there with thier ear at the hole, (no smoking), turn the key to on just before start and they should hear the fuel pump humming. if they dont then try to start. if it doesnt start turn key off and at that instant the pump should be heard again. What i think is happening is your pump is not energizing . Its supposed to energize when turning your key on and off. This can be caused by a bad fuel pump or pump relay switch. Hope this helps. please rate me

SOURCE: 2001 gmc sonoma,not getting gas

Have you checked for fuel in the fuel rail? If so have you checked the injectors. If the problem is located in the injectors then there are two possible problems:
1...All of your injectors are clogged. Highly unlikely but possible.
2...Your computer is not sending a injector cycle command to the injector. This could be caused by a faulty cam position sensor or a faulty computer.

SOURCE: 93 gmc sierra 5.7 liter engine, injection carb,

you say you replaced the fuse, but does the fuse have power? the gray wire at pump should have power when cranking, or for 2 seconds when turning key on. At fuel pump relay, put power onto gray wire, the pump should run if the wiring is good. if it doenst run then ck for power at fuse while power is on gray wire.

2001 sonoma won't start, turns over. Got spark . won't evan fire. frozen gas line??? fuel pump?? fuel disconnect switch??

Spray some carb.cleaner or brake cleaner into the throttle body and if it starts and runs for a few seconds then it is a fuel problem.G.M.vehicles do not have fuel shut off switches.You can check the gray wire at the fuel pump connector and see if you have power with a test light.When you turn the key to the on position the test light should light for 2 seconds then go off.If there is any way you can check fuel pressure that would be the best way to check the fuel pump.The specs are 60-66 psi.Hope this helps and let me know what you come up with or if you need more help.Good luck.

2000 GMC Sonoma will not start after standing serveral hours

Check the fuel pressure at the shredder valve, you should have 62 to 65 PSI when the fuel system is primed. (engine not running) With the engine started and running the pressure should drop by 5 PSI, anything less then 62 PSI in your fuel system when trying to start the engine will cause a no start. Note; that try to start a the engine by pouring gas through the throttle body may cause an internal fire in the intake ports and will cause the fuel injectors to melt creating a more expensive problem. As for the fuel pump in the gas tank, it''s held on by and snap ring which you can remove with a simple screw driver. Good luck and keep me posted, and don't for get to replace the wire harness from the frame to the gas tank. It's a $12.00 investment that's worth more then it's cost.

Suddenly, my 92 Sonoma will not start, I just parked it a while ago and hopped in to start it and it just turns over forever but not even a flump flump...before it started immediately. I checked fuel,...

Better do a fuel pressure test, just because you can hear the pump running dosent mean its pumping, or you can pour a little gas in the throutle body and see if it will fire, or if its injection spray a little WD 40 in the throught and see if it will fire, if it does than chanses are its the pump. Also for some reason fuel pumps usely go out when you have a full tank of gas.

Is fuel getting into the carb?  If it is, is the float chamber full?  Is the float stuck?
