My suburban fires right off but will not stay running, it has 60 lbs of fuel line pressure with the switch on and maintains 55 lbs of pressure when key is off. Been running fine started it this morning to put my windows up and after that it did this. No codes being created, just fires and dies

This could be many things, but I would start by checking coil, ignition relay, crank/cam sensor, idle air control valve, coolant temp sensor (the one that speaks to the ECU).

What should fuel pressure be on a 94 Chevy S-10 4.3L Vortec?

60--66 psi.
In my opinion. After it starts, it should run with less pressure.

How do you check fuel pressure regulator

If the pressure holds steady than the regulator is likely not the issue. It is very common for the fuel pumps to be the source of this issue. Many times you can start the engines with a shot of carb spray and the engine will continue to run after until you shut it off.

Get a quality fuel pump. Either a delphi or an A/C Delco. These pumps are worth the extra money as they are more reliable than most of the other aftermarket brands. One in particular to stay away from is a brand called Airtex.

Fuel pressure at 55 psi and truck stalling

Fuel pressure too low. looks like you have a weak fuel pump. here is the fuel pressure spec

Turn ON the ignition leaving the engine OFF, the fuel pressure should be 415-455 kPa (60-66 psi) when the pump is running

1999 chevy suburban 5.7 L. vortec. Can a bad camshaft sensor cause a no start? rebuilt engine, fuel pressure 60 LBS.,spark at all the plugs, compression 140 lbs, timing is dead on.

1997 chevy blazer getting fuel and spark but not starting, only backfiring through carb.

You need 3 things.
Compression
Good hot blue spark to all plugs.
Good gasoline and proper fuel pressure. 63-64 lbs.
If you have all 3 then move on to injector pulse to all injectors.
I think each injector is on a separate driver on that one.
Check for pulse to all of them.

You may be weak on fuel pressure . even a couple of lbs low on a cold start will cause a no start.
Double check cold start cranking fuel pressure. If under 63-62 lbs you have problems.
one test is to give it a squirt of carb cleaner not starting fluid. If it starts then you have a fuel pressure problem.
Run the full fuel pressure test and post back pressures.
Here is the guide lines on testing.
Hard to start cold.
Check cold start fuel pressure.
Check engine running fuel pressure.
Check engine running on the road fuel pressure.
Then shut it off and watch for fast leak down.
Pinch off at rubber part or block off return line and check full pressure.
Later V6 and V8 gm engines should have 60-66 fuel pressure.
Cold start should be 64-65 lbs of pressure.
If you do not have full fuel pressure on a cold start the injectors will not squirt fuel. Do not leave home without it.
Engine running should be 60-66 lbs pressure depending on engine load.
Full pressure with return pinched off should be 75-85 or more.
And if it has a fast leak down after shut off you have a leak.


The 75-85 is only a check on the capable full pressure of fuel pump.
If you can not find the rubber return line check full pressure by plugging return line or just or the true full pressure can be taken direct at the end fuel filter.
What are the pressure readings that you have when done.
What are your cold start pressure readings?
Post back what you have. Good luck
