Hear the pump run for 3 seconds when you turn the key on?if so,not the pump.Even have somebody listen at fuel neck, cap off That truck if famous for firing a spark thru the ign rotor,check for spark.

Hello: There are two things that could be dausing this: One is the board that holds the bulbs in the tail light assembly, it could be shorted internally. The other thing is on the rear right fender on the inside there is a electrical distribution box for the rear lights it also could be internally shorted, also the connectors to that box could be corroded and causing your problem. Hope this helps.

Does it start better after sitting overnight? Is it missing at all? Check engine light? Hard starting could be fuel pump, also lack of power could be lack of fuel. If it starts better after sitting overnight, could be block catalytic converter. That would also explain lack of power. If you have to hold gas pedal half way down trying to get speed would explain why it is not going into overdrive. Hope this gives you some direction.

Jim Shelly,Thank you for asking me to help you with your problem. However, this is either not within my level of expertise or the question is unclear or there is not enough information and I cannot help you at ths time.

this sounds like one of your electrical door actuator modules is not working not letting air flow threw your heater core itself in the heater box assembly feel at the bottom of your heater box for a heat from the heater core if it is hot then the problem is misdirected airflow. If the door actuator works it might be the hand control that you

it may be the fat red wire coming out of the bottom of the distributor which may of caused it to backfire. this not a 100 percent answer. maybe a possibility. good luck.

Hi John. this is a simple job and I will look up the part and price and will get back very very shortly

thanks for using FixYa.

check ground cable connection to engine.

next step is to remove the intake, you are on the right track, worse i ever found was a cracke block, but that was in a 61 t-bird which was repaired with jb weld ten yrs ago and still holding, but the intake gasket sounds right

a good place to start is to replace the brake light switch, if you can mess with it to get it out of park chances are it is bad

Yes it is and its no fun to replace there are to many other issues with things like fuel lines tank strape the filler neck and the tank it self . These are mostly rust problems . And the pump it self has wireing issues from the harnest the wire is not a resistance wire and tends to over heat casueing a connection problem at the connecter at the pump the new pump will have upgrades that will solve this problem and some others interinaly in the pump however you will need to cut the wireing harnest to attach to new connecter to the pump its not the same and won't just plug in. What you should look at first is the fuel filter its inline under the drivers door running along the frame rail replace it . Then check the fuel relay that should be inside the glove box behind a panel thats marked relay center or relays it will be the one on the far left if you are faceing it . The other thing you could try would be the oil pressure sending unit. The way your fuel system works is it runs on a split curicut i beleive its fuse #4 that powers the relay but it also gose to the oil pressure sending unit witch goes to the fuel pump as well in case the relay goes when your on the highway you won't lose power to the fuel pump its a saftey thing dosn't make a lot of sence to me but thats how it works . If the relay is bad then it will start however it will take a long cranking time to build up enough oil pressure to trip the switch in the oil pressure sending unit to send voltage to the fuel pump. I can't candy coat this the most likely thing is the fuel pump they normaly last 10 years on this vehicle if your lucky . Good luck with it

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR LOCATED NEXT TO THE STARTER.

check fittings going into master cylinder you will have to have someone press brakes with truck running
