Good afternoon Scott.  Thank you for your videos and great knowledge but I need some help. So I have a 2003 avalanche that I let it run out of gas and well I decided to change out the knock sensors and connector. As I changed them I went ahead and changed the header valave gasket, clean out the header covers, clean out the manifold, clean the injectors, change out spark plugs and wires, camshaft sensor, new battery, and new gas pump filter. But now it won't start. 

Thank you

Letting a fuel injected ICE run out of fuel is the kiss of death for the fuel pump.  You should never let it get less than about 1/4 tank.


I did it routinely with my previous vehicle. {blackemo}:anguished:
The pump went at least 170k mi and never died.


You are a very lucky man, Joe.


yes I'm a very naughty boy. And yet I've never had to replace a fuel pump in my life on any vehicle (all GM)


Thank you sir for your information and I got it running

Well I changed out the fuel pump due to the hoses inside were busted and the hoses were brittle. I also change the throttle position sensors ( error on dash board: reduce engine power) but now I'm not getting any spark to my spark plugs.
