www.xcardiag.com/ It's a conversion that really should never have been attempted. It requires a different fuel tank and external fuel pump, preferably the engine mounted factory pump. These modifications aren't even legal to do.

First, I have never seen an S-10 Blazer that is carbureted and equipped with an in-tank fuel pump and a fuel pressure regulator. Are you sure you are not talking about a throttle body injected engine?

Then, even if such a vehicle does exist, it would make sense to me that the pump is either capable of producing the pressure or it is not. If it adjusts to where you want it, it would make sense to me that the pump is doing what it is supposed to do. Adjusting the regulator would not cause the pump to pump more. It would only affect how much of what the pump is pushing gets returned to the tank. On the other hand, a hole in a regulator diaphram that keeps getting larger could easilly cause the symptoms you are describing.

yes you have to drop the tank. you will also need a fuel line tool to unhook the fuel lines. before you drop the tank see if tou can reach and wiggle the electrical connection on the top of the tank. these pumps have a pigtail issue. please rate

SOURCE: fuel pressure problem.I replaced the fuel pump on 2001 chevy s-10

Most fuel injected vehicles have a relay that controls the fuel pump so after the ignition switch has been on for about 5 seconds and the engine is not running, the fuel pump automatically shuts off.
I don't know what your original problem was, but I think if the car runs normally, you have probably fixed your problem. If you don't have a manual, you can probably go to the library and take a look at a manual that covers your vehicle.

SOURCE: 95 chevy lumina van won't stay running

i would check the fuel pressure and see what it reads. im not for sure what the reading would be for that year model. you can call your local service department and see what they are. check them with the key on and vehicle off, then check them with the car on. if you dont get the right readings you are supposed to then i would say the fuel pump is not doing what it is supposed to do.

I ran out of gas in a 1997 Chevy Blazer, put gas in, but still won't start.

The fuel filter may be to dirty to let the gas flow through and will need to be replaced, or most common when you run out of gas is the fuel pump will burn it self out. The fuel in the tank will keep the fuel pump cooled and will keep it from burning out, if you ran it out of gas. The pump may have burn out and will need to be replaced. Check the fuse first and hope the fuse blown due to the extra amp drown from the pump running without fuel. If the fuse is good, then check to see if you can hear the fuel pump start up when you turn the ignition key to the run position. Note the fuel pump will only energize the fuel line for 5 seconds, so you need to listen for the pump to turn on right away. The other thing too, is you can check the fuel pressure at the shredder valve, there should be 62 to 65 PSI when energizing the fuel line and will drop around 5 PSI when the engine is running. Make sure you do not try to start the engine by pouring gas down the throttle body, it been know for the gas to catch fire in the intake manifold and burn up the fuel injector system which is very costly. Start with the simple and check the fuses and fuel pump, then replace the fuel filter. At worst, your going to have to replace the fuel pump by dropping the gas tank and don't forget to replace the wire harness from the fuel pump to the frame. Good luck and hope this helps, keep me posted. Be glad to know you got your Blazer running again soon.

I have a 1996 chevy blazer replaced the fuel and

No, the fuel pressure valve may be stuck open so that the fuel pressure is too low when you start up, but the pump keeps up after the engine starts...
The fuel pressure valve is draining the fuel back into the fuel tank when the Blazer is parked.

Where is fuel relay

The fuel pump relay is only for the fuel pump priming when you turn on the key. After the vehicle starts the oil pressure switch takes over and runs the pump. If the pump is shutting off after the motor is running the oil pressure swith is probably bad. Let me know if i can help you further.
