My 1999 Chevy Suburban 5.7 liter hesitates to start right after driving it. I could get in the truck in the morning, start it right up head to the gas station, fuel up. When I get back in the truck and go to start it, it rolls over once, then twice, then I pump the gas pedal and it starts. Any ideas? I recently changed the starter a few months ago. This started happening after that replacement. Bad starter?

SOURCE: 1996 chevy suburban maybe fuel pump problems

yes it's in the fuel tank....................Drop the tank and the rest is easy.
Getting the Gas out before dropping the tank can prove to be a pain but after that is done the rest is easy.(best to run it a empty as possible) Two straps hang the tank. Remove the strap bolts and the tank will come undone. Remove the filler hoses, disconnect the power leads and the fuel lines and the tank is free. The pump comes out by twisting a ring.then remove the pump and replace then reverse the earlier steps to reinstall

If this engine is a VORTEC then you may have a problem with the internal fuel system. Under the top plenum there is a fuel reg and poppet valves that inject fuel into the cylinders. Sometimes the tubes that run fuel from the reg to the valves can leak and cause your problem. This cannot be found with pressure check because this occurrs after the reg. PS fuel mileage will go down. Let me know if this helps.Moe

Too much gas. Maybe the fuel pressure regulator has failed. Pull off the vacuum hose to the regulator-if any evidence of gas in the vacuum line, regulator is bad-diaphragm has ruptured and letting in extra gas to engine through the vacuum line.
If that is good, no gas in vacuum line, have the fuel pressure checked. Still possible the regulator is not right.
Watch the pattern of gas out the bottom of injectors while the engine is cranked. Should see a fine mist cone pattern spraying out from the injectors. If it is just dripping, injectors may be clogged.

1994 chevy suburban help

It could be low fuel pressure from a weak pump. A fuel pressure test would find out. When the engine is cold, the computer keeps the injectors open longer-a cold engine needs more gas to run than a warm one. When at normal operating temperature, the computer matches the gas to the incoming air. If you have low fuel pressure against the injectors, that is when you would notice the hesitation. A possibility anyway.
If fuel pressure is good, check for trouble codes. A sensor may be sending the wrong information. Could be the mass air flow sensor-the one that tells the computer how much air is coming in so it can match the right amount of gas for it-through the injector on-time. There it is, your injector pulse width is too narrow. Causes lean running, stumbling, hesitation. Another possibility. Check for codes first.
If not air or gas related (is your air filter clean? And the gas filter been changed in the last 2 or 3 years?), and no codes, and fuel pressure is good, you may have to keep looking for an electrical fault. If it runs good when cold, doesn't seem likely to be a mechanical fault.

2002 suburban 2500 hesitation backfires intermintly

Check for error codes (DTCs) before going any further. Sounds like a fuel problem (fuel pump, injectors, etc.) which may have been affected by bad gas. Try a good fuel additive (cleaner) as well.

Might be your coolant temp. sensor. Also, does your suburban have two oxygen sensors? Many cars have one in front of catalytic converter for computer fuel requirements, and another behind the cat., mainly used to measure health of the cat.

Assuming none of the wires are crossed, AND you replaced the cap rotor wires with quality replacements (meaning AC Delco) then you may have a bad coil. Remove coil from dist cap if HEI and look for any signs of arcing such as blackened areas.

Truck won't start

If it has a vortech V8 It has to have the right fuel PSI or it won't start. Also pick up in distributor could be causeing problem. Cross over style distributor cap also can cause problem. Out of oil? Fuel pressure regulator where found inside the intake manifold with injector cluster, if fuel psi regulator goes bad could be leaking fuel in intake causing oil to get deluted and burn.
