I have a 2003 GMC Savana G3500. This only happens sometimes when I try to start it. It flutters and feels like it wants to shut off. After trying several times to see if it goes away, I will drive it for a couple minutes and I will turn it off. Then when I restart it, it starts up normal. I have changed fuel pump and fuel filter 8 months ago.

SOURCE: 2000 GMC Jimmy will not start

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.

SOURCE: 2003 GMC Duramax Diesel won't start

I see that you had the injectors replaced 20,000 miles ago. I would still check the oil to make sure it is not overfull. The new injectors could be bad. If the oil level is not overfull then get a paper towel and touch the dip stick tip on the paper towel while oil is on the dip stick. If it's only oil it will not spread. If it has diesel in the oil the oil with spread. If this test doesn't show the injectors to be bad then you have three other possibilities. The FICM (fuel injection control module), the fuel pressure regulator, or the injection pump. It's hard to pinpoint what the problem is without running more tests and the only way to run those tests is with the computer the dealership has. Just so you know your injectors are still under warranty until 100,000 miles. Most likely you will have to take it to the dealership to get you truck fixed. I hope this helps you some.

Not good...you did more than I would have done...sounds like its time to take it to a qualified repairman and have him diagnose the problem(s).

2003 Savana 3500 battery light is coming on intermittently. Sometimes van voltmeter shows 14 volts then sometimes it shows 11.5 volts. Is the voltage regulator internal should just replace alternator

ITS part of the alternator. Check it directly at the alternator if u can. It sounds like an alternator starting to go. Have it ckd if u can. It should be reading 14- 14.5 volts at the battery.

Does it have any power when you start moving? I've seen a lot of plugged catalytic converters. You may want to have an exhaust back-pressure test done.
