1999 Chevy Tahoe 5.7 engine with 161,000 miles. I just replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter. The truck ran great for 2 days. Then went to start on the 3rd day, and would not start. The engine is getting fuel. I took off the valve that looks like a tire inflator that has a pin in it. Plenty of gas is coming to the engine from the fuel pump. I have checked the wires for sparke and there is sparke.

Sorry Nick. I'm sure it will buff out.
