Fuel pressure regulator changed, ecm changed, fuel pump working, fuses checked. Truck engine will try to turn over, sometimes it will start, but only after trying several times, mostly it won't start. Could problem be in the ignition switch? Please help, very frustrated!
2000 jimmy I have im having trouble starting sometimes in the morning it cranks right up and dies later on in the day after it sits it fires right up could it be the ecm going bad
The oil presure switch does have some bearing on the problem but my suggestion is to change the coil. I had a the same problem with an astro van. I changed everything that you have described and it fixed the problem just for a little while and then all of a sudden did it again. I changed the coild and the cold start swithch and never had the problem again.

My 2001 Jimmy had been running well for the last 4 months after I had replaced the fuel pump and filter for the second time. Now just recently, I noticed it was not starting on the first turn but immediatley on the second. The problem went from that to not starting at all in the morning hours. When I give it a crank it wants to start but after several tries it will not. If I prime it will start just fine but only as long as it stays running. It couldn't be the fuel pump this was just replaced not too long ago, right? I've had this vehicle for 3 years now and it's had consistant problems from the start. At this point I don't know where to turn for a solution. I heard that a faulty oil pressure switch will cause the fuel pump not to work properly but that's just what I read. Too much money has been spent trying to maintain this lemon and I am very frustrated. Any solutions or ideas?
