So my truck would start but would shut off immediately unless I revved it for a while then would run. But now it won't start. Before I change my fuel pump what can I do? I also have two tanks I only use the rear one because the front one was not working when I got it. Please any help would be awesome.

Good morning,

I would start by verifying the fuel pressure is the issue from the pump.

You need to get a tester, which you can rent at a parts store, and check the actual pressure before assuming the pump is the issue.
