1997 Chevrolet Tahoe Logo
Anonymous Posted on Apr 16, 2011

I have a 1997 Chevy Tahoe 4 door V8 5.7 liter vortec. I replaced the fuel pump. I got good fuel pressure on the fuel rail up by the throttle body. It will start when I put fuel in the throttle body but it shuts off after that fuel burns up.

Where is the fuel pressure regulator located on a 1988 Dodge B-150 van, 5.2 liter? I've been told it's on the fuel rail. Where is the fuel rail?

If you have throttle-body fuel injection, you don't have a fuel rail. The fuel pressure regulator should be mounted to throttle body.

My 2004 Chevy Tahoe idles real low and Cut off I can't find the problem they don't do it all the time

There is a factory idle screw under a cap on the side of your throttle body you have to drill it out and turn it up a bit

I have an 1997 tahoe and fuel pump went out replaced pump and filter and still won't start. gas is up on the rail at 45psi but not getting to the injectors

This truck requires 51-56 PSI fuel pressure before it will start.You may have gotten a bad fuel pump.

It will not start with low fuel pressure. Buy a bottle of quik start and spray a little bit into the throttle body (JUST A LITTLE BIT ) if it starts and stays running you have a bad fuel pump or a clogged filter. It is no reccommended to use quik start so only do this once or twice then repair the problem.

2000 chevy tahoe z71 5.7 v-8 vortec intermittently wont start unless I spray starting fluid in the throttle body ! fuel pressure checks good on the fuel rail and I already replaced fuel pressure regulator...

I can think of four things. Do each in turn and test the engine after completing each one. If it gets fixed early in the list avoid the items later on. 1) check that your throttle interior is clean 'like new' along with the idle air control valve.
2) Idle Air Control Valve IACV - How to check? Physically remove the IACV but keep the electrical connection to it and loosely blank off the ports to the throttle inlet assembly, exposed by the IACV removal. Turn the engine on and examine the IACV valve movement in response to additional loads (power steering inputs etc). The valve should open and close according to demand causing perceptible change in engine speed with increased power demand being made on the engine.

The electrical connector to the IACV can have 2 or 4 pins:-

2 pins: resistance between pins should about 10 OHMS +/- 3 OHMS. Resistance between either of the pins and the valve body is greater than 10,000 OHMS

4 pins: resistance between diagonally positioned pins should be about 20 OHMS
How to fix? If the motor of the IACV has failed then replace it. If the valve is gummed closed by baked oil and carbon then clean it thoroughly with carburetor choke cleaner spray and a cloth. Similarly if the entry and exit ports on the throttle body to the IACV look blocked again clean them out thoroughly
3) Throttle Position Sensor TPS - How to check? The socket for electrical connection with the TPS has 3 pins, one for 'ground', one for 5 volts 'reference' and a third (generally the middle one) for 'signal' output. Back probe the signal pin in the connector to the TPS. Attach the positive lead of a voltmeter to the probe and measure the voltage output as the throttle plate is rotated. If working correctly the meter should show a voltage consistent with the throttle position from approximately 1 volt when closed and 5 volts when fully open. What is looked for is smooth voltage increase with throttle change. If there are drop outs in the transition or that there is no transition seen the TPS is faulty.

How to fix? If the track is dirty causing drop outs, try cleaning it with residue-free electrical cleaning spray. If the track is worn it is perhaps easiest to replace the complete device. In some instances it may be possible to adjust the location of the central mount of the TPS contact arm along the throttle shaft by a few millimeters and in the process cause a fresh concentric region of



4) Fuel pressure regulator _ Yes I know you have checked it for pressure but at start up when the ignition is at position 2 the fuel pump starts up and pressurizes the fuel rail. As you turn to position 3 "ignition" power is cut to the pump and fuel pressure is maintained by a non-return valve in the pump. If that valve is faulty the fuel pressure in the rail will drop to zero just when you need it and no fuel can be injected. Check the fuel pressure when at position 2 and then switched off; fuel pressure should be maintained for up to 5 minutes with little or no loss. If there is pressure loss then either the non-return valve is faulty or you have leak in the fuel pressure regulator. If it is such a leak, fuel will dribble from the vacuum line connected to it when disconnected.

Is there a huel reset on 2001 chevy tahoe

Sorry there is no fuel pump reset on the Tahoe. If you have no fuel pressure, check the fuses and relay,and wire harness to the fuel pump from the inside frame rail on the drivers side. If you can hear the fuel pump working, check the fuel pressure at the shredder valve and there should be 60 to 66 PSI, if you don't you can try checking for 12 volt at the fuel pump wire harness at the frame rail. Good luck and keep me posted, be glad to help.
