2002 Chevy Express Van, 1/2 ton. 110,000 miles will not start. It seems to be a fuel delivery problem since it will start if hit it with a shot of starter fluid but won't keep running. I have replaced fuel filter and it didn't help. There is a clicking sound from under hood near throttle body. It doesn't sound like the normal fuel pump pressuring up sound. Could it be a relay or other part of the fuel system? Also, what is best way to check fuel pressure?

Sounds like a fuel pump..I believe it is located in the gas tank,,,not hard to replace if you have good mechanical skills and some time!

This sounds like the fuel pump is shot. The pump has a 'dead' spot and when the engine is started by using 'nasty' starting fluid it will go to the running mode and run fine. Never use starting fluid!!! A bit of gas is best, just use common sence. Frankster016

JUST RELEASE THE PRESSURE AT THE FUEL PRESSURE TEST PORT ON THE FUEL SUPPLY RAIL THAT SUPPLIES THE INJECTORS, IT IS A METAL VALVE LIKE A TIRE VALVE, THAT IS THE FACTORY RECOMMENDED METHOD..

That eliminates the crankshaft and camshaft position sensors. Have you checked the fuel injector itself for an open winding or stuck valve plunger? There should not be a steady 12 volts to the injector--if good injector, it would be spraying fuel steadily into the throttle body. But at least the engine should try to run if poorly. Take the injector out, dry it off with air, and intermittently apply 12 volts to one terminal while grounding the other. You should hear a click from inside every time you touch 12 volts. If not, replace it. If it does, it may be plugged with debris. Try blowing through it in reverse with compressed air.

How do I start 1997 chevy express 3500 with the wires?

You can't. It has an anti-theft device. The days of boosting a car with a couple of wires ended in the 1980s! You have to fix the problem, not find a way around it.

ask the supervisor of the car dealer's service department, he should know or give you another reference. Doesn't seem like it would work though.

Chevy express wont start

Will it run for a short time if you squirt some fuel into the throttle body? If so, then concentrate on the fuel delivery system. Fuel pressure at the test port on the fuel rail should be at least 40 PSI. If not, look at the fuel pump, the pressure regulator, and the fuel filter.
