Replaced fuel filter - won't start?

[BOSS]

Anyone have this problem? Truck won't start after replacing the fuel filter, checked the fuel pump relay by swapping the horn relay and horn works fine.

Engine sounds like it makes a half a turn at the start and then the starter just cranks.

?

check fuel pump

Can leaving it open for a while cause a problem??

Opened the gas cap, turned the key to ON without starting 4 times to hear the fuel pump turn on and prime the fuel line....PAYDIRT!

Are you sure the fuel filter was installed correctly?

What he said, also check disconnected plugs and too see if fuel is even getting past the filter!

Ya I got it, had to turn the key to the on position 3-4 times without cranking it all the way to let the fuel line prime itself and get some fuel through the new filter. If you do this inside your garage, you can easily hear your fuel pump engage when the key hits the ON position. Thanks for the support my bretheren

Those "quick" release clips are nothing I would call "quick"...they're a pain in the ass. I ended up buying the GM fuel filter removal tool to get that **** out of the line...

While I was at it, I dynamat'd the underside of the body including above the tranny....


Loved that nasty ass 8yr old dirt-grime-grease-gasoline MUCK hitting my face as I cleaned the underside of the body
