SOURCE: throttle body injectors not fiering but there is fuel pressure

the injectors are fired thru the engine cotrol module but it gets its signal to fire from the pick-up located inside the distributor if you are loosing injector pulse only the ignition module is bad if you are also loosing spark when you loose injector pulse your pick up is causing the problem if you replace the pick-up i recomend you change the ignition module when doing so because they work together and you have to remove the distributor to change the pick-up

SOURCE: No Fuel at throttle body

If you think it's the pump ... Find your owners manual to find locations of fuses and relays ... First is this vehicle on level ground? Does it have sufficient fuel level (1/8 tank or more) then have an assistant turn on ignition switch to run position (not start) while you listen under the tank to hear a pump ... it may only make a noise for a few seconds ... is there fuel getting to the throttle body at the input line (it could be the injector) if there is fuel pressure at the throttle body/injector it may be the injector itself) >>>If no sound is heard ... first check for power at following locations >>> Fuses >>> Fuel pump relay >>> harnesses/connectors going to the tank from the front all the way back >>> connector at pump (tank likely will have to be emptied and removed, and you would rather avoid this if possible) >>>pump ... I don't suspect filter, as I've never had one suddenly fail completely

SOURCE: no fuel getting to throttle body / installed new

are you geting power to the fuel pump?? On some vehicles the electric fuel pump primes when the ignition is switched on to acc (i.e when all the dash lights come on etc) and on other vehicles the fuel pump doesnt start untill you turn the ignition over to the "start" position. Id check the fuel pump was acutally getting power and go from there

SOURCE: truck cranks but won't start

Check the fuel line it may have a small hole that is allowing air in. If air is getting into the line the fuel will flow back into the tank. Happend to me one day and it turned out to be the clamp.

SOURCE: 1998 chevy tahoe 4x4 wont

fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator. When you turn the key do you hear fuel pump run? If not odds are the pump is bad.

My 2008 Kia Rio idle just fine but when I give gas no power

It sounds like there may be an issue with the fuel system or the throttle body on your 2008 Kia Rio. The fact that the car idles fine but lacks power when you give it gas suggests that there may be a problem with the flow of fuel to the engine or with the throttle body.
Possible causes for this issue include a clogged fuel filter, a malfunctioning fuel pump, or a problem with the throttle body.
Here are some steps you can try to fix the problem:
  1. Check the fuel filter: Make sure that the fuel filter is clean and not clogged. If it is dirty, replace it.
  2. Check the fuel pump: Make sure that the fuel pump is functioning properly and that it is delivering enough fuel to the engine.
  3. Check the throttle body: Make sure that the throttle body is clean and not clogged with carbon build-up. Clean the throttle body if necessary
  4. Check the air filter: Make sure that the air filter is clean and not clogged, if it is dirty, replace it.
  5. Check the vacuum lines: Make sure that the vacuum lines connected to the throttle body are not cracked or leaking.
If the problem persists after trying these steps, it's best to take your Kia Rio to a professional mechanic or a Kia dealer for further diagnosis and repair.
It's also worth noting that the noise you're hearing coming from the back of the motor could be something else and not related to the issues I've mentioned. So it is best to get it checked by a professional.

Throttle body not working

if you have fuel pressure at throttle body make sure you have power to (nodes) at top of throttle body that opens to let fuel into motor

Cranks well but won't start.

Looks like you got spark, and gas in the throttle body made it fire: nice work.
Sounds like your fuel pump is out or the wiring is not turning it on. One way to be sure is to set a spare battery near the tank and hot wire the pump with jumper wires. Or if you have a voltmeter check for voltage at the fuel pump connector while the truck is cranking.. If the pump is working and getting gas to the engine, see if the injectors are pulsing. A good idea to check fuel pressure if the pump is working.

No Fuel at throttle body

Fuses first.
Then, disconnect the fuel line at the throttle body (unless there is a fuel pressure testing port) and see if there is fuel when you turn on the key.
If not, fuel pump, probably in tank. (assuming there isn't one on the side of the engine..)
If there IS fuel in the line, then the computer may not be engaging the injectors. Check for wiring issues on something that old. Maybe the main junction splice for power to the computer. (Not sure where on that one, sometimes it's in a dumb place, like near the battery and it gets corroded).
