    My 97 t100 recently has not started, it has a new gas pump and a new tank. The engine tries to start but it never does and if it does it idles for 10 sec and dies again. What could it be?

    Check for spark, check fuel, check loose cables connecters, check relays and fuses, lastly check compression.
