Any chance it could be the fuel pressure regulator allowing too much fuel? I smell gas at the tailpipe when I’m cranking for awhile with the relay plugged in. It makes sense the pressure regulator is allowing too much fuel which is flooding the engine. When I unplug the relay the engine tries to start using what fuels in there?

I would very much appreciate that. I have had nothing but problems with the truck since I got it. Things were going good for a little while than this. Of course it can’t be something simple. If you can tell your friend I am seeing spark going to all 8 cylinders. There appears to be fuel as I see spray from the injectors when the relay is plugged in. When I unplug the relay the fuel stops but the truck seems to attempt to start with the relay removed. If I feed it starter fluid it runs off that sometimes but its tricky to get it to stay running. It seems very particular about how much I spray. Too much stalls it and so does too little.
If I plug the fuel pump relay back in, it almost acts like the fuel is flooding it out and it doesn’t even attempt to start.

I didn’t check the fuel filter yet as it is getting fuel at the injectors I figured the filter was ok. How do I check the timing I never did that before

Just found out that you can keep the truck running by slowly feeding it starter fluid but it runs rough. If you spray it too fast it almost seems to flood it out. Only tries to start when the relay is unplugged. If its plugged in, it doesn’t try to start.

[quote=”chevyaz” post=55621]The oil pressure switch is just to the right of the distributor its silver color. Its plugged in by a connector. Put your test light to the connectors.[/quote]
I believe I found it. The red or orange wire lights the test light, the other two don’t light. If I turn the ignition on, the top terminal lights the test light but dimly. The last terminal is showing ground. I tested the terminal when it was unplugged from the oil pressure sensor. I left both the oil pressure sensor and the fuel pump relay unplugged and tried to start it. It does the same thing where it attempts to start and even did start and run for a second and then promptly died.

here is a video to help show you what its doing. I will look for the oil pressure sensor and check it
