Fuel pressure may drop due to a leaking injector or bad check valve in the fuel pump itself. The regulator does not come into effect until the engine is running and a vacuum supply is produced to it. If the regulator is leaking internally, it could send fuel back to the tank as well. Prime the fuel line and pinch off the return line ( if possible ) to eliminate a regulator problem. If the fuel pressure drops with the return line pinched off, suspect a leaking injector or fuel pump. If injector is leaking, the vehicle should run rich and cause a hard start/rough run condition

Fuel pressure specs for gmc sonoma 4.3

2001-2004 gmc sonoma 4.3 [X, W Eng.] fuel system specs: 60-66 psi when you turn the ignition key (fuel pump) on without starting the engine. If fuel pressure drops back down quickly after fuel pump stops working (works for only 5 sec.) then you have a bad fuel pump or leaking injector spider.

Fuel regulator location

It is inclusive in the fuel pump. There isnt a replacement only replace the fuel pump. I just took of the intake manifold assembly to look for it and it was not there. I then dropped the fuel tank and it is not there. The answer sad to say is replacing the fuel pump. Use the AC Delco Fuel pump the generic brands failed ed a few people multiple times.

Why does my 2001 GMC Yukon XL always cut off when stopping or starting at slow speeds such as in parking lots and at stop sings?

Check your fuel pressure it should be 60-66 psi with key and engine off.If its not within these specs then replace the fuel pump and filter.Sounds like you may have a low fuel pressure problem.

2004 yukon xl bogging down when acclerating rapidly

Maybe change your fuel filter if it has not been done for a while and might have to get your fuel pressure tested. The pressure needs to rise when you romp on the throttle and if it does not that could be a problem with maybe the fuel pump or regulator.

My GMC yukon XL 2001 engine runs after 4 times of cranking.

Try turning key to on only, not start, 2 or 3 times first then try to start. If it starts good first try, then I'd change my fuel filter & then have fuel pressure tested if fuel filter didn't help. You may be looking at a new pump, but lets do filter & test fuel pressure first.
