I have a 2002 sonoma that quit while driving. I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, and fuel filter. The fuel pressure is 10-15 psi with the key on and engine off. I am at my whits end. I did read your post from last october where another person had a similar issue and he was told to check the fuel pump ground. Where will I find the fuel pump ground? Any other ideas you may have will be surely appreciated.

I realize that it is way too low. I am trying to determine why it is too low. Any ideas on what to check. The pump is new, the fuel filter is new, the fuel pressure regulator is new.

It is a 4.3 fuel injected engine. I just replaced the Fuel Pump, Fuel pressure regulator, and the fuel filter. With no results. It still doesn't start

Are you getting spark? If so you need to open it back up and investigate the regulator and nut kit-your're leaking pressure=somewhere
