on the fuel delivery line on top of the engine assuming its a multipoint and not a mono point injection their is a vacumn pipe going to the end of this where it connects to a roundish looking thing make sure this vacumn pipe isnt broke or perished

First check for at sparkplugs if you have spark then check the fuel pressure it should be 55-61 with key on and engine off.If not within specs replace fuel pump and filter.

when carb is wide open ????? No carb ,fuel injection ???? Are the injectors being controlled by the PCM / ECM ??? Have replaced fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel pump relay.???? Did you test first ?

check to make sure they sold you the right fuel pump. they are two pumps for a 4.3 ones a vortek and one is a throtlle body. the eighth digit of the vin will tell you one is a vin w and one is a vin z. the throtlle body only puts out about 11psi of pressure and the vortek puts out about 60psi of pressure.if you put the throttle body pump in a vortek engine there is not enough fuel pressure to run it.

see if your fuel pump is geting power to it stick your ear in gas filler take off cap an have someone turn key thats first your fuel pump relay thats on the fire wall in the engine compartment might be no good thats what turns on pump its on the left side of fire wall with a black cover over it

check the fuel system
pump, regulator, fuel pressure damper , return valve
when the key is on the system needs to be pressurized and maintain pressure, if you dont have this , recheck your fuel system
if everything is ok, than cranck the engine and look for injector fault

The only thing left in this system is the fuel pressure regulator. You need to check pressure before the regulator and after the regulator if there is the problem then you need to replace it. I hope this helps. Don't forget to rate my answer.

Just from what you said it sounds like your vehicle might not be holding its residual pressure which means after you turn a vehicle off, your fuel injection system should hold a certain amount of pressure in the system, but if that pressure drops to fast your vehicle may have a hard time starting. Things to look for when you lose fuel pressure is the fuel pressure regulator may be leaking, fuel pump check valve,leaky fuel injector or they maybe a small leak in one of the fuel lines. I only suggested this cause i had a car with the similar problem.

The fuel pressure regulator is under the upper intake manifold (plastic one) on the right side of the center injector assy. The most likely problem with the reguator is leaking. The problem with your truck it the fuel pump. Make sure you replace the connector on the fuel pump
