When my 1999 Chevy Suburban is cold, I start it up and when the accelerator is depressed, the engine bogs down, and it back fires and stalls. When driving, I have to let off the accelerator and depress it very slowly and increase speed very gradually until the engine warms up....then it seems to function properly. Does this sound like a fuel pump or a fuel sensor?

Possibly the throttle position sensor. Easiest way to test is connect a scanner and go to real time data mode. With the key on,press the accelerator slowly and watch the throttle position change on the scanner. If it doesn't register a change when you start opening the throttle, replace the sensor.

Sounds like a fuel delivery problem! Try filter first (cheapest), then the pump
Hope this helps, Henry

SOURCE: 92 Chevy Suburban Electrical Fuel System

Check fuel flter at fuel pick-up intank (looks like a small wire sock). Remove fuel filter and fitting at fuel rail. Blow out fuel lines w/about 35lbs air press. Ck electrical @ relay - should be 4 connectors - one is key on hot/one is always hot/one is ground and last is hot to fuel pump. Good Luck

SOURCE: 91 XJ6 Stalls occasionally in Drive with brake depressed

Idle valve? If stuck in hot position (they often do), then not enough air when engine is cold. Symptom would be that it does this more when cold. The brake pedal thing gets me a bit, does it do it when the handbrake is pulled on but in Drive? If so, nothing to do with brakes, but just that there is a load on the engine caused by halting the torque converter creep, which goes back to idle control problem. If it is only with the foot brake, then I would suspect vacuum leak, there is a whole host of vacuum circuits on your Jaguar, have a look for hoses that have rubbed on the engine and have a slight hole or ones that have perished. Pressing the brake causes a reduction in vacuum to all the circuits, but if there is an air leak, then this can cause the inlet manifold vacuum to collapse and the engine to stall.

SOURCE: 1988 chevy corsica bogs down when you press the

Bogging can be caused by several things but the most common is lack of fuel. A plugged fuel filter would be the first check. Next would be a possible fuel pump problem. Also a plugged exhaust will give the same symptom, catalytic converters the prime suspect.
If your car is using excessive oil or has been running poorly for a while will contribute to catalytic failure.

I have a1997 suburban 5.7 eng. hesitates and backfires on rapid acceleration.

check that your map sensor has direct (unregulated) vacuum. I don't believe that the purge solenoid can create that kind of problem.

What's the sign of a bad cat converter on a 1999

If the cat is clogged, blocking exhaust flow, the car may start normally, and may run fine while the engine is cold. Within a few mins as engine warms it will start to bog down and die when you try to acellerate, even a little. May even die out if you give it gas, while it may idle just fine.
This has been my experice in 2 different cars of different types over the years.

Your only problem friend, is the temperature sending unit/sensor. Upon cold start, this sensor wil tell the computer to go into cold start mode putting a bit more fuel in and raising the idle a bit to keep it running when cold without using the throttle. Replace that sensor and your good to go. Makes sense, right?

First check for any cracked pipes leading into the intake manifold If all OK (with no codes showing it probably is OK) try checking the fuel pressure regulator. If you smell fuel from the pressure regulator vacuum side arm (when the vacuum line has been disconnected) it needs to be replaced.

Check engine coolant sensor. If it has a problem, it sends a message to the computer that your engine is actually cold and sends more fuel to the engine causing it to run rough or die. After cooling down it will start and run until it warms up then does the same thing again. Just a thought but could be the problem. You have changed your fuel filter correct? And have you checked your fuel pressure?

Hesitation , skipping,engine cuts out when accelerating

Im having the same issue I believe. I have a 94\' Chevy 1500 and when i accelerate it will jerk like the gas has cut out but it wont stall. It just jerks and slows me down. It only seems to do it when going up a hill. I feel like it could be the fuel pump or possibly some intake gaskets?
