Wow it could be either, but obviously your gonna want to go the cheapest way first, which is the filter. But dont be surprised if the throttle position sensor is the culprit. As all three of these items have the same symptoms when they go bad.

I have a problem with my blazer the fuel pump will keep running when you turn the key off. The only way I can get it to shut off is by unhooking the battery or pulling the ecm batt. Fues could you please tell what to do

Hello, you might check the oil pressure switch. This is the only location I could find.

The o/p switch in the fuel pump circuit, may get stuck in the closed position, if it does, the pump will run continue to run.

I was driving along when my truck started acting like I wasn't pushing on the gas even though I had the gas pedal to the floor. It acted like I had gotten bad gas even though that wasn't it. Now it just completely died on me.
Everyone tells me its the fuel filter or the fuel pump can you enlighten me what might be the problem

I had the same problem with my 97 blazer. The first time it was the fuel filter. The second time it was the fuel pump. The third time it was the catalytic converter. It rusted through and was clogged. I would change the fuel filter first because a do it yourselfer can change this and it is cheap. I would also see what kinda shape your converter is in. When my converter was clogged, I had to "floor" the truck just to get it going. You can also check the fuel pressure too.

I was driving to work today and my truck started running kinda rough like it was starving for fuel. How can I figure out whether its the fuel pump or not? Once it started acting up I immediatly pulled over and shut the truck off and then it would not start back up. Got it towed home and went to work. Got home from work and tried starting it and it fired right up but after running for bout 10 minutes it started all over again. Shut it off and now it wont start again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

If the engine doesn't start, check to see if you have spark and fuel to the engine. Chances are one will be missing. Let me know what you find, and we'll go from there.

Truck will not start, as though theirs is no gas. If I pour a little gas into the fuel injectors, the truck starts immediatly, then dies. Is this the fuel pump?

If so how do I diagnosis if the pumps bad, an electrical problem, fuel filter etc.

Hi scott riley and welcome to 2carpros

When the last time you've replaced the fuel filter? If okay Tee-in at the fuel filter and check the fuel pressure should read 9-13psi
