2000 Chevy 1500 Silverado 5.3L V-8 Vortec.
Changed fuel filter.
Question = the truck will start. Runs good for 10 seconds, then stalls.
Initially when the truck stalled it wouldn't even start at all. I towed
it home, changed the fuel filter and it would then start and run. But
only for 10 secs then die. Any help you could offer in the general
direction of where to start would be appreciated. Donation to follow
JK:
This does sound like fuel pressure problem. Replacing the filter seemed to
help. That may have helped a weak or binding pump build some pressure.
Best way to tell is to put a fuel gauge on it and check pressure.
You can also have someone bang on the bottom center of the fuel tank
when starting. Sometimes this will cause a bad fuel pump to keep it running
or try to stay running, until you stop banging on it. Also spraying carb
cleaner in the throttle to keep it running would indicate a bad pump.
The pump may also have burned connectors on top of the fuel tank pump /
module assembly. This would cause low current to the pump, intern cause it
to stop running or produce low pressure. Usually the connectors get burned
because of a bad pump anyway.

Question = My truck is bogging out. It does it when I go to back out of the drive and it does it
when I'm going down the highway. I thought it may had been my fuel filter so I put a new filter on
but it's still doing it.

GM Tech:
There are many things that can cause this.
First thing is to get the codes scanned from the computer. With the check engine light on,
there are codes stored. Most of the large parts store chains will do this for free.
This would give indication as to what system is having a problem.
You could have a bad throttle sensor, Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor, low fuel pressure, etc

Engine size = 4.3
Repairs for this problem = full tune up at 3000 timing chain and gears new cam and crank sensors new
coil egr valve and 2 o2 sensors.
Question = engine has low fire pink in color tries to start floods cylinders with gas

Answer: If you have not already, check or just replace the coil wire
to the distributor cap. Aside from that, i would not focus too much on
the color of the spark. A crank sensor, EGR valve, Os sensors, etc.
Will not effect spark strength. Look more at a fuel pressure
problem. Get a gauge on the pressure tap and try to start. Then
after it won't, look to see if the pressure is dropping. It should stay
steady. If it is dropping, then you may have either a bad fuel
pressure regulator (FPR) that is dumping fuel into the intake, and
into the cylinders, or a few stuck open injectors.
