1999 gmc sierra 2500 6 liter ran out of gas now won't start

If you are at or near the 100,000 mile mark then your fuel pump may have failed. If you remove the fuel filler cap and listen carefully at the filler neck while someone turns the ignition key to "run" [don't actually crank the engine] you should be able to hear the fuel pump buzz for about a second and a half as the key is turned On. If you don't hear the pump buzz then odds are your pump is dead. Your pump may have actually failed making it appear as though you ran out of fuel. Not to uncommon. Hope this helps and good luck!

I have an '02 sierra 2500 HD 4x4. When i try starting it takes quite a few cranks to start and it is usually sluggish for a few seconds after it starts. Sometimes it will start normal but more often it...

could be stopped up air filter, fuel filter, or weak fuel pump...try cycling the ignition on several (3 or 4) times and see if it starts any faster...sign of a weak fuel pump.

2002 gmc sierra, fuel pump comes on for 2 seconds or so when key is turned on but no fuel pressure

pump may come on and hum but not pump-- try replacing fuel filter first may have a total plugged up filter, check pressure if still no pressure than will have to replace pump [either seized or plugged up ] but will still have to remove it to check

REPLACE FUEL PUMP GMC 2002 SIERRa

the pump is in the gas tank siphon the gas out and remove the straps holding the tank(you will also need to remove the three screws holding the filler neck to the truck box under the filler door.)as you drop the tank you will also need to unplug the wiring to the top of the tank and the fuel lines they are usually plastic clips,but if this has been done before and the clips got broken from the first time they could have put clamps in place of the clips.I have found it much faster to remove the truck box itself and that way you don't have to drain the tank and it stays stationary while you RandR the pump with less chance of breaking anything.
Also did you double check the fuel pump relay under the hood in the relay box,I would start there first.
Hope this helps good luck.

2002 gmc sierra starts up runs then starts to idle rough then quits. wont restart

GMC's are notorious for fuel pump problems. Not an easy repair. You have to drop the fuel tank to replace. About an $700-800 job at the dealer.

The fuel pump is located INSIDE the gas tank and is a combination fuel pump/sending unit for the fuel gauge. Be prepared for a large repair bill. About $600!

Can you tell me how you tested the fuel pressure and what was the fuel pressure with the truck running? and when you shut your truck off? What size engine? Flex Fuel? Turbo Diesel? Gasoline?

Your fuel filter hold the fuel pressure every bit as much as the back pressure valve in the pump does. I recommend changing this as well. Cheap and easy fix and every bit as necessary.

Your fuel filter should be located on the undercarriage along the drivers side rail. It will require a gas line tool to get the line off. If it is not the it is the engine compartment and much more caution should be used. Change with the engine cooled down.

If you have any comments please feel free to leave them here and I will respond to you.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa.
