1998 S15 GMC Jimmy mileage: 92,000. The car wouldn't start the other night and it had to be towed home. I replaced the fuel pump twice and still no start. The fuel pressure would only go up to 30 and wouldn't hold. Replaced the fuel injection spider (very costly) but no luck. My husband finally replaced the fuel sending unit and it started, but only after he put some fuel in the intake (valve?). The car ran fine for a couple of days but today it would not start unless my son put some fuel in the intake again. That is the only way it will start. What can be the problem?

Since you did not mention it, we are assuming you did not have the computer scanned. If you haven't done so, do it now. It will tell you what is malfunctioning and causing the engine not to start.
