It sounds like you have a defective fuel pump. The pump is locate inside the fuel tank, the fuel tank must be removed to replace the pump. Please follow this procedure to remove the fuel tank.
Disconnect neg battery cable, safely raise vehicle, place floor jack under tank, loosen gas tank straps and allow tank to slowly drop halfway, disconnect( this is the hard part) fuel lines,and power connections at tank. Drop tank. With a brass hammer/punch carefully remove retaining ring/seal.Reverse to install.A new pump module will cost you $300-$400 at the dealer. Don't use a cheap pump replace the entire assembly because this is a float/sender/pump/ in one. Replace your fuel filter too or the fuel pump warranty is voided..

I also had this problem with mine. There's a main power cable that runs to the battery. The bolt was completely corroded, so there was no connection = no power to start the truck. Check that, it'll cost ya less than 5 bucks to fix.

I think 54 p.s.i. on fuel pressure is close to border line, Are the injectors pulsating, You can have fire at the plugs but if injectors are not pulsating it will not run. I know there were problems with the injections systems on blazers and jimmys around that year, i would look closer to the injection system.

SOURCE: 1991 gmc jimmy over fueling at start up, it wont

Sounds like the relay is not shutting off fuel pump. Turn the key to on position ( not start ), pump should only run for a few secounds and you will hear a click and pump should shut off, if it keeps running relay is bad. If it works like it should than fuel regulator (if there is one) would be the next posability.

Hi David, The fuel pressure for fuel injected petrol engines should be about 52 lbs per sq in. Seems you have a leakage and low fuel pressure delivery. Regards John

IT WONT START OR STAY RUNNING UNLESS I KEEP PRIMING IT ITS FUEL INJECTED 4.3 VORTEC

Hi Palmer Jay, Take the vehicle for a diagnostic scan and have the fuel pump pressure checked at the same time. It sounds to me as if the pump may be defective and not giving the correct pressure. Also have them replace the fuel filter. Regards John

I have a 1995 GMC Jimmy that won't start.

It sounds like a faulty fuel pressure regulator. When you turn the key to the on position the fuel pump starts for an instant to build pressure in the fuel line. If the pressure regulator has allowed too much leakage since the last start then the fuel pump does not have enough time to prime the line. The fuel pressure will still measure ok when the car is running because the leakage is very low. Try turning the key off and on a few times prior to starting and see if the extra pump priming steps help. Also check the vacuum line to the regulator because it needs vacuum to work correctly.

1995 Gmc Jimmy Starting Problem

If the engine is using a carburetor, the top gasket maybe leaking evaporating the fuel in the bowl. Check or replace the solenoid switch on the starter body.
