There are two basic reasons for not starting - no spark or no fuel, both of which are controlled by the ECM. You need to check error codes and these items - for the spark, test it at the cylinder 1 sparkplug; for the fuel check the pressure (if too high or low, problem!).

check your coolant temp sensor resistance cold and warm, the colder the more resistance

Yeah, The fuel pump can go bad . The normal warranty on the pump is 12 months or 12,000 miles. This is very rare . I would check if the fuel pump had a lifetime warranty.
I would also check the ignition switch, and all the fuses to make sure the fuel pump is the failure.
Good Luck
SOURCE: location of fuel pump relay on a 97 GMC Jimmy?
Fuel pump relay is in your gluve box. I belive there are three relay's there and it could be the middle one. Getting old memory bad LOL.

try the oil pressure switch, that was a common problem on Gm trucks when I used to work on them, the oils switch was bad and woulden't allow it to start and the ones I worked on were on the back of the distributor.

It's very possible to be the master cylinder, the o-rings on the piston could be worn, letting the fluid seep back through instead of getting full pressure through the lines. Could also be the brake booster.
Try changing the master cylinder first, which is cheaper and easier, and see if there is a difference, you'll need to bleed the brakes again.
To check the booster,
With the engine off, pump the brakes until the pedal is hard, then hold pressure on the brake pedal and listen for air escaping, or the pedal goes slowly to the floor, Do that after the master cylinder has been changed, at least that will be eliminated.
Testimonial: "Hadn't thought about the O-rings on the rod thanks for the idea. Great Idea Thanks!"
