After checking some wiring and fuses we discovered the ECM 1 fuse was blowing as soon as the key was turned. Did some research on line and this seems to point to either the fuel pump or the sending unit over amping or possibly a short. Will be checking continuity to the fuel pump and most likely changing the fuel pump. Hopefully this fixes our issue. Will keep you posted. And thanks.
