Are you missing anything else, besides gas? Engine cranking, did you check for spark at the plugs and fuel injector pulse? Any applicable trouble codes? Did you check voltage and ground to fuel pump motor, before replacing anything?

Hi Donald, You need to reset your computer by disconnecting the battery for about 10 minutes but your radio might need an unlock code as well.........CHEERS..

You have likely got broken wires where they come out of the cab and into the liftgate. pull back the rubber and check them at that point.

Usually if the third brake light works but not the regular brake lights, the problem is inside the turn signal switch.

The ebcm has nothing to do with the brake lights , the ebcm - electronic brake control module is for the ABS - anti-lock brake system ! Stoplamps Voltage is available at all times through the STOP/HAZ fuse to the torque converter clutch (TCC)/stoplamp switch. With the depression of the brake pedal, the contacts in the TCC/stoplamp switch close. Voltage is available from the stoplamp relay on pickups, or the TCC/stoplamp switch on all of the other vehicles, through the turn/hazard switch to the left stoplamp, the right stoplamp, and the stoplamp lights. If a turn signal is in operation, the stoplamp on that side flashes as a turn signal. The other stoplamp serves as a stop lamp.

Your brake light switch circuit also goes through the BLINKER SWITCH. Did you check that? (Most common culprit in GM vehicles.)

Low coolant level can cause this

Some kind of blockage in the filler tube.

It should be four wires. Gray is power to the pump, Purple is gauge control, and two black wires that are ground. You should have battery voltage on the gray for 3 sec. after the key is turned on. Did you replace the plug-in to the pump when you replaced the pump? The pumps usually come with new plugs

Distributors are very tricky and must be installed perfectly. It sounds like you may have installed it incorrectly or the distributor could be broken. How I fixed a mistiming issue on a Jeep with a distributor was I loosely bolted the distributor onto the engine and kept turning the key. The car wouldn't start but it kept cranking because the distributor was not even plugged into the engine. What will happen is that when everything lines up the distributor will drop on its own into the sequence and the car will start. At that time you can turn the car off and tighten it down. That's what I did a couple years ago with the Jeep and she's still running perfect today. There's many other much more difficult ways to do this, but this is the quickest way I found and it worked. It took a few tries but was all worth it in the end. Hope this helps!

a 1996 Tahoe does not have cabin filters.

Check the headlight switch

front side of axle around the driver side area

Assuming you have checked your transmission fluid levels, you may require a soft parts rebuild of your transmission, or an adjustment of your upper clutch band

Assuming asking about inertia switch that is related to the crash/airbag sensor - under center console - technically under dash.
