Fuel injected gasoline engines have fuel pump in gas tank. Pump is supposed to "emulsify" (fancy word for "mix") fuel and water to help prevent a localized build up of water at bottom of tank. But ...water and gas don't mix and if you have too much water (caused from condensation ...especially in the winter ...and consistently keeping your fuel at low levels) things don't work so well. Dry Gas ...ancient stuff from carburetor days and frozen fuel lines ....get some, a couple or three bottles at least, and pour into your gas tank then fill up. Dry Gas is essentially (methyl?) alcohol that will break up the water and allow it to better mix with the gas.

Testimonial: "thanks we'll have him try that and wait and see i suppose."

Will not start. code reader says glow plug heater circiut malfunction.

Hi Mike:
Glow plugs-on fed truck usually the controller-on cal.equipped truck usually glowplugs themselves.

We are assuming the you have some of this codes:
- P0380 Glow Plug/Heater Circuit A Malfunction
- P0381 Glow Plug/Heater Indicator Circuit Malfunction

I found this after searching this and other diesel sites for about a week glow plugs are covered on factory extended warranty-10 years or 200000 miles call GM @ 1-800-462-8782 have VIN# ready

Models: 2002 - 04 Chevrolet Silverado
2002 - 04 GMC Sierra
Equipped with 6.6L Diesel V8 (RPO LB7 - VIN 1) Engine; and California Emissions (YF5/NE1), or Clean Fuel Emissions (VCL)

Condition: Some customers of 2002 - 04 model year Chevrolet Silverado; and GMC Sierra trucks, equipped with a 6.6L diesel V8 (LB7) engine, and California emissions (YF5/NE1), or Clean Fuel Fleet emissions (VCL), may experience a condition where the engine glow plugs may fail. Failure of the glow plugs on these vehicles will cause illumination of the MIL. Also, depending on the ambient cold start conditions and the number of glow plugs failing open, some customers may also comment about hard starting, misfiring and white smoking after cold start.

Customer Notification: General Motors will notify customers of this special coverage on their vehicles (see copy of typical customer letter included with this bulletin - actual divisional letter may vary slightly).

Ask your local dealer.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I will appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

check for codes. If no codes are stored then maybe the idle air control valve is bad, or the air cleaner clamps are loose.. If the clamps were loose or a vacuum hose fell off you should have a code stored. If the IAC is bad it usually will not set a code.

2001 GMC truck Sierra (2500 diesal) trouble code showing T0093. He is driving now. He can clear it and the truck is ok for a bit, then it comes back. Is it ok to keep clearing it and driving? Do you know...

The code should be p0093. It is for an injector(s) problem. It usually means that there is a problem with the injectors where the fuel is leaking internally back to the fuel tank or into the oil pan. The injectors had a warranty of 200,000 miles or 7 years for this problem. Unfortunately you are over by years.
