Hi,
I have an 87 short bed 2wd, 305 TBI and 4spd auto. When I bought the truck only the R/H (pass. side) tank worked. It has the factory dual tanks and I check the power leads and it was getting power to the selector valve, so I replaced it. Before I replaced it no matter which tank the dash switch was set for, the engine ran and it took the gas from the R/H tank. Now after replacing the selector valve, fuel filter, adding a gas line and tank cleaner (recommended by the guy at NAPA) and filling the L/H tank with fuel, when I change the dash switch to the L/H tank the truck dies. It still runs on the R/H tank but won't run on the left. I cranked the engine over for quiet a while but it would never fire. I know that it is not getting fuel, but does anyone have a suggestions as to what I can check?
Thanks
