Pump not priming

[tortron]

Looking at this diagram

you are getting power from the engine control relay, wire 2-BL (black and blue) i would start checking that wire.
you may also want to unplug the ecu a couple of times to clean up any dirty connections
Good time to check any fuel filters you have


I also see you mentioned you thought it might be the fuel pressure regulator. Once the pump is working, check to see that fuel is getting to the fuel rail. If it is and the truck still doesnt start, Pull the return hose from the Fuel Pressure Regulator and see if its wet with fuel after cranking the engine. If its dry, your Fuel Pressure Regulator could be faulty.

I've found that the fuel pump primes occasionally and the engine still doesn't crank on its own without unplugging the fuel pump and plugging it in after getting started. I see a main relay by the right side kick panel. And the pump only primes for 1 second whenever it does, and when it does it still doesn't crank. Oil smells of fuel and lots of white smoke
