2005 Chevy Uplander died while driving down highway has over 1/4 tank of gas even added fuel pump is kicking in and it's like it's starting then instantly dies

SOURCE: MY FUEL PUMP KICKS ON BUT MY 2005 CHEVY UPLANDER WILL NOT START

Try adding gas to the tank, it might have a bad sending unit that reads 1/4 when the tank is empty.

SOURCE: engine cranks but will not start

fuel filter or most likely the injectors are done

If you dont have much money, guessing what parts to change gets expensive. First, you need to verify if it has fuel pressure and spark, that will lead you in the direction to start looking for the problem. Pull 1 spark plug wire off and see if it will jump a 1/2" gap, If so, thats good. If no spark, make sure the cam is turning, you may have a broken timing belt.

SOURCE: gas not getting to engine

sounds like your fuel pump, normally fuel pumps die gradually not just like that, so best check fule pump fuses first, also i can not remeber if these have a fuel cut off switch, this is normally located arround the fire wall it looks like a red or black rubber button, if you have one you can press that and see if that sorts it, if not then it more than likley is the fuel pump and will possibly need replacing, but check the other things first, better a new fuse than a new pump...hope that helps a bit

You have to have the code pulled to see what it is. This MAY help but you should also have the fuel pressure checked to see if you have a blockage usually when a pump goes out the vehicle won't start or may just idle.GOOD LUCK
