1995 Chevrolet Suburban Logo
Anonymous Posted on Jan 05, 2010

Need help on a 1995 Chevy Suburban. It will die at idle when it's up to running temp and in gear. I have to pump the gas peddle to keep it from dying. Just did a tune up and throttle body cleaning to see if that would fix the issue. No joy. Cap and rotor, plugs, wires, fuel additive. It's fine in park or neutral, but as soon as I shift into reverse or drive, it dies. HELP!!!

    So you're saying I need to re-time the motor by advancing the timing? So are you ruling out the idle solenoid? BTW: I also changed the oil. Thanks for your posting.

It sounds like the motor's tick over is far to slow when the car is put in gear if the tick over is say 750 rpm out of gear then it stalls when you put it in gear lift the tick over up to say 850 rpm the best way to set this up is have a friend sit in the car, warm the motor up, then get your friend to hold the foot brake hard on and put the car in gear, if it stalls bring the tick over up (in gear) till it dont stall,,,but hold the brakes hard on when your doing this,,,getting run over is not a nice thing to hapen to you and it wont make your day? you should feel a dit of a thump when you plop it into gear so hold the foot brake down when you do plop it in gear every time you do so, it saves the transmishion getting a thumping, all the things you have done to your car so far have only done it good, but why not change the oil and filter as well and know you have done the full monty on your car, and it wont need another service for another year or so?????

Is my fuel pump bad even if my car runs with a little help with stepping on gas peddle?

Those aren't fuel pump symptoms. Check the engine coolant temp sensor, clean the throttle body and idle air bypass valve.

I have a 1995 Chevy Suburban K1500 with a 350 4x4, when I start it runs good. When I put it in gear and let idle it wants to die for the first couple or miles and then it's fine. I have changed the plugs,...

I would look at the timing belt if it's never been replaced. Sounds like it is having issues under a load or the tensioner isn't working properly. Another possible issue could be a vacum component that isn't functioning properly until the engine and transmission get wormed up.

89 suburban. No spray from injectors after replacing ESC

The fuel pump should be in the 20s. Also it could be losing presure slowly. Leave the fuel pump pressure gage on for at least 2 to 3 hours to see if it is losing pressure - It's a start
