SOURCE: 99 chevy suburban intermittenly not starting....fuel pump is runn

Unfortunately the fuel pump can still be bad. The pump has a check valve on it that wears out. The pump will continue to run but, struggles to supply enough fuel to start the engine. You can buy a fuel pressure test gauge from Auto Zone or that type of auto parts store and check the pressure. You can purchase a fuel pump from them too.

SOURCE: Truck won't start right away when its hot.

U MAY HAVE A DEFECTIVE ENGINE COOLANT TEMP (ECT) SENSOR, U NEED A SCAN TOOL TO TEST THIS PART, THIS IS NOT THE SENDER FOR THE TEMP GUAGE THIS IS THE SENSOR THAT TELLS THE FUEL INJECTION COMPUTER HOW COLD OR HOT THE ENGINE IS, IF IT READS LOW THE SYSTEM WILL GET TO MUCH FUEL AND CAUSE A HARD START, DO U NOTICE ANY BLACK SMOKE WHEN IT FINALLY STARTS?

SOURCE: 94 GMC truck diesel starts,runs and then dies and will not start

I have the same problem and have trouble codes 35 and 36. I found out that there is a computer module that needs replaced as it sits low in a valley and gets hot and seperates. I am reseaching about the a/m fix that installs the new module away from heat.

SOURCE: My 1994 suburban engine stops. No fuel, no MIL light.

I checked all of the fuseable links and they were all good. Next I decided to check all the power wires to the ECM and also the grounds from a wiring diagram because the Mil is controlled by the ecm and the bulb was good. The ecm is located behind the glove box. Bingo, the orange wire was only reading 3-5 volts at the ECM, but 12.5 volts after the fuseable link at the underhood fuse block (passenger side firewall). I ran a temp wire directly from after the fuseable link to the orange wire at the ecm and the ecm turned back on and the Mil or "check engine soon" light came on too. The truck started up and has never run smoother.

Note that at first the truck just stalled out and I could restart it right away with no error codes. Eventually the stalling became more frequent with longer reset times required. Once it threw a "code 54" and I thought it was fuel related as each time the gas stopped and I could still start the truck with gas poured into the TB. Ignition ok. My fuel pump turned on and ran if I tested it. I even checked the pressure regulator and the fuel filter to no avail.The orange wire that powers up the ecm is technically part or the fuel pump relay circuit as it also feeds the fuel pump relay 12.5 volts all the time. The thin orange wire from the fuse block is joined to two other thin orange wires in the large group of wires that heads to the ecm along the firewall behind the engine. I had to dig it out of the many wires to find it and remove a lot of tape. It is amazing to me that this one little orange wire could cause so much grief and be so hard to track down. I could not have afforded to take this problem to the Dealer.

1989 GMC sierra fuel pump and ignition stop working

Without testing we'd only be guessing ! Do you want to replace a bunch of parts till the problem is fixed ? Hooking up a scanner an looking at engine management system sensor's (data ) inputs to the engine computer would be the first place to start. If you don't have the ability to do this , suggest you take it to a qualified repair shop . Or learn automotive Engine system diagnostic's . A lot of thing's could cause the problem your having . Do you know how to test automotive electrical an electronic system's ?

From red light truck started sputtering and and stalled out

Hello. The GMC Sierra has an electric fuel pump so you should ensure that its fuses and relays are working before checking it. You may need to clean your fuel pump or replace it if your gas tank is not empty, but your vehicle has difficulty getting fuel. The GMC Sierra comes in a variety of styles and trim levels that can affect the replacement fuel pump you choose.

Electrical problem 89 gmc pickup

You could always run a fused wire from the fuse panel to the relay. This way when you turn the key, power goes to the accessory on the fuse panel, the fused wire you installed, and to the relay circumventing the problem and creating a protected circuit.

My 97 GMC Sierra 5.7L 350 will not start until I have laid on the ignition for a good 2 min when it's cold. If it's hot outside, or it was recently running it will fire up just fine. I'm guessing fuel...

You may have a fuel pump going bad.It may be alowing the fuel to run back to the tank.Try turning the key on for two min. without cranking it ,then see if it starts any better.Listen to see if you can tell when the pump is running and if it stops.

Our 2002 gmc sierra 4x4 truck stopped while we were driving. Is there a fuel shut off switch somewhere that might have been engaged?

If its fuel related, it is most likely the fuel pump inside your tank. You can listen for it by having someone turn the key to on (not start) while you listen by the fuel tank. You should hear a buzzing sound for about 5 seconds. That means the pump is turning but is not really a good indication of pump pressure.
If you don't hear the pump run, I would check power to the pump first before you buy one. I think the whole tank unit is about $150.
Good luck

1997 gmc sierra shuts off while driving

Had same problem with a Yukon. Turned out to be a bad fuel pump (Won't show codes.) When cold ran fine, heated up, no pressure. Would start after sitting for about 1/2 hour. When engine dies on you check for fuel pressure under the hood.
