2004 GMC Yukon Denali

My 2004 GMC Yukon Denali wouldn't start. I tried jumping it and put gas into it. Eventually I was able to get it started by flooring the gas while turning the key. Once running, it idled extremely rough, and the RPMs get dropping so I would rev it up and give it a little gas at which time the exhaust spewed dark black smoke and started to smell. When i tried driving it, every time I slowed down or stopped the RPMs would drop out and while I was moving every time I hit the gas pedal the RPMs shot up and the truck takes off; Even when coming to a dead stop, I have to break harder because it is idling so high it wants to move. I left it parked over night, when i started it, it idled rough for approximately 2 minutes then seems to running almost fine, however it still seems to be idling high. So when coming to a full stop, I have to brake harder for the car to stop. Then when I let go of the brake to move again the trucks takes off as if I had floored it. I was able to drive it home. Any ideas?

Check for trouble codes. You can get this done free at most car part stores.

I have experienced this problem on similar vehicles. You should try and replace the coolant temp sensor. If it is not reading the correct temp to the ecm, it will not get the right fuel map. Also, the cts will not always throw a code.

2004 GMC YUKON DENALI idling rough and trouble starting

unless you want to blow up the intake stop giving it gas before you turn it over what you are doing is dangerous all you are doing is dumping raw unburned gas into the bottom of the intake to the motor, one of these times you go to start it it will do this boom really loud then die, it will lift the whole back end of the vehicle off the ground, then if you try to start it again okay I edited the answer also could be your catalytic convertor plugged is the exhaust coming out good, change the sensors whatever you do stop pumping the gas if it wont start now get in as you need silence so shut the door and the radio off can you hear the fuel pump? it will sound like a huum for a few seconds if you cant there is your problem all I can say is stop pumping the gas as that's why its running bad you are burning out the sensors and all the computer code stuff and wasting expensive gas too. you prolly fouled your plugs as well.

One of the sensors, map, tps, etc may be going out. Could be a dirty (carbon) throttle body.

Sometimes new starters have to be shimmed so that the gear on the starter lines up with the gear teeth on the flywheel on the motor. The grinding noise is the reason I say that is what's wrong. If there were shims already there, try taking them out. I hope this helps you

I have a 2000 Denali that just turned over 200,000 and has never given me any problem until 2 weeks ago. I went to start it and it turned over and acted like it wasn't getting any fuel but wouldn't start...

Well, if you jumped the battery and it started, maybe you need a new battery. Get that checked out first. Also, when was the air filter replaced? I would probably take to an indy shop if it wasn't the battery or air filter because it could be a bunch of things: starter, fuel pump, fuel filter or fuel injectors.

Yesterday i ran out of gas. I filled a gas can and put gas in but the car still wouldn't start. I have a 2003 gmc yukon denali, i was told by the dealer that the fuel pump may have burnt out. any advice?

i would say the fuel pump went out also here's a easy way to find out put your head down by the gas tank have someone turn the key on if you here a buzzing sound it's good if you hear nothing well get ready to drop that gas tank.

Get the climate control computer relaced or reprogrammed. There is a good chance that when your vehicle was jump started it fried the climate system.
