I am in a time crunch, trying to get her back running by tomorrow.

Went to do a tune up on my 87 K5 with the 350 TBI. I installed a new fuel filter, cap, rotor, plugs and plug wires. Put everything back together as published, and she'll crank, but not start. Running when I started the project...now not so much.

Checked the spark from a few wires, let's just say I felt it...

Pulled a plug, it was dry as a bone, turned it over without the plug in, no fuel to be seen.

HELP!!!!!

I rechecked the fuel filter i put in, fuel there, no problem.

I had crank times of four-five seconds before the tune up (or tune down)...

Is it the pump?!?!?

Thanks for the replies, sorry for not searching!
 
check and make sure you got your wires in the right order....done that many times myself when I have been in a hurry

Checked it three times now, and if i reverse any of them, it sounds awful cranking. Crank sounds normal, I think they're in the right order.

Also, it's spraying fuel down into the valves just fine...
 
Mine wasnt getting fuel either once after i bounced it around trying to pull a friend out of deep sand, after we realized it was getting no fuel to the TBI we checked the fuses and sure enough it was just a popped fuel pump fuse.




Double check your fuses, you might have popped one during the tune up.
