Before you replace anything check the fuel gauge and make sure you have fuel in the car . I know this sounds silly but you won't believe how many times I have seen this before. First you can check to see if the fuel pump is running. Have an assistant turn the key to the on postions while you listen carefully near the fuel tank . You should hear the pump run (humming) for a few seconds and then shut off. This is normal. If the pump runs then I would suspect the filter is clog or a kink in the line. If the pump isn't running check the fuel pump fuse and make sure it is good. If it is good then check the fuel pump relay and make sure that is working. Good luck Backyardmechanic

Confirm there is fuel in the tank. With the key on, listen near the tank for the fuel pump to hum briefly. If it runs, check for a clogged fuel filter or a kinked fuel line. If it does not run, test the fuel pump fuse and then the fuel pump relay.

Conversation Summary

A 1999 Oldsmobile Bravada that had been running fine would not start the next day and appeared to be getting no fuel. The expert advised confirming the tank has fuel, listening for the pump to prime when the key is turned on, and then checking a clogged filter or kinked line if the pump runs, or the fuel pump fuse and relay if it does not.
