My 1997 olds bravada won't start. The fuel pump does make sound when I turn the key.?

The fuel filter was changed, still nothing. It ran for a minute when gas was dumped into the fuel injector, but died shortly after. Any suggestions??? Thanks.........

Check the fuel pressure. You need about 60 # while the pump is runnung and engine is not.

Just because the pump makes noise doesn't mean it pumping at good pressure.
it'll run like poo if your not getting good fuel pressure sure but it will still start. it takes 3 things ti get an engine to start: fuel-air-fire, check to see if your getting any fuel to the rail by sticking a knife tip on the schrader valve (yours i believe has a green or black cap on a BLACK line) if no fuel is present check the flow on the fuel filter, you may have installed it backwords. good luck and god bless
