Fuel pick-up in tank is blocked it has a sock over the end as a gross filter to keep out any big junk from getting sucked into the pump and causing damage to it. the sock can get so plugged up that no fuel will flow, causing the pump to run for a short time then with no fuel flow to cool it it trips the safety and shuts off

SOURCE: hard start

Its your fuel pump.I had the same plomblem not too long ago.I was spraying either in to start it.I have a 97 chevy truck witch requires 65 psi to start and 55 to run properly.You need to find out much psi you need to start it.You can probaly look in your manual or just make a few calls.My truck had 55 psi and it ran fine i just had to get it running first.Good luck.I wonder if that fuel pressure regulator was a waste of time like it was for me.

Try replacing the intank plug-in for the fuel pump. They have been known to go bad even though they look okay.

SOURCE: 97 gmc pickup, 5.7 eng, fuel pump not operating,

What you need to do is check you fuel pressure. Go to a local auto parts store and buy a fuel injection pressure tester. The pressure fitting is on the top of the motor its a 3/8 ish sized metal line and has a screw on fitting like a tire valve does. This line comes up from the back of the motor to the right of the distributor and goes down into the intake. Make sure to have a rag handy to catch the fuel seepage. After you connect the pressure tester turn the key on and off three times and read the gage you should have atleast 58 pounds of pressure. If you have 56 pounds it won't run because the fuel injectors are a poppit valve style and need atleast 58 pounds of pressure to operate.

I changed the fuel pump but the van still won't

And you know the fuel filter is good? Could be injector problem: just as a check, spray some starting fluid into the intake and see if engine runs a few seconds. If it does, it is a fuel problem. Check injector fuse, as a start. Check fuel pressure. Check injector circuit. If engine won't start with starting fluid, check if you are getting spark. Problem may be in the ignition system.

2002 chevy 3500 duramax 6.6 ran hot now cranks but won't start

Check spark plugs, leads, distributor cap & rotor arm, fuel pump, fuel filter, coil pack(s), relays, replace any items that are suspect IE Fuel filter which has probably not been changed since new even though they should be changed on all vehicles every 18 months, all of this can be done at home & will save you a lot of bucks in mechanic/garage fees,

Where is the fuel pump relay or fuse on ford 7.5 rv chassis

maybe you can reed this:
Get in the van and roll all the windows, turn off radio and a/c and kids. Basically you want to create a quiet environment just for a second or two. Now engage the key as if to start the motor but don't turn the key all the way to start the motor, just before this point. You should now hear a "buzz" or "wind" behind you towards the back of the van, just for a few seconds. This is the fuel pump engaging and pumping fuel. If you don't hear this wind then try it again. It has nothing to do with pumping the gas pedal. It is an automatic item that turns on then off quickly because it thinks it has shot enough fuel from the tank all the way to the motor to start up. If no wind then I'd check and even replace the fuel pump relay which is right above the battery towards the back of it. Actually you will see 2 relays there and they are identical. You could always just switch them to see if the relay was bad. The other relay does something obvious on the van that I forgot but it will be apparent once you disconnect both as to what the other controls. If the fuel pump relay now works in the other slot then the relay is good BUT your fuel pump is most likely bad. This stinks because now you have to lower your gas tank to replace the pump which costs $150 or so. It is easy to do but takes a good 3-4 hours and an almost empty fuel tank is preferred before you begin because the tank is already heavy enough empty. The only special tool needed is a fuel line disconnect tool which is a $6 tool at any auto store. If you hear the sound then the relay is fine. You might want to check to see if your fuel filter is clogged. Again easy to do but messy. Use that same fuel line tool and wiggle it between the end of the fuel filter (right under the van driver's side) and the line. It won't fit that well but just keep wiggling. Now press the line towards the tool and pull line back and it should pop off. Have a rag handy because fuel will drain from the loose end of the hose that goes to the motor. Now get in the van and quickly engage the key again. You should have shot a few ounces of gas onto the ground (I say ground because you should do this outside in a well ventilated area and NOT in your garage). This means your filter is fine. Next I'd check your spark.

Hi, I bought not long ago a 1997 Town & Country Lxi, everything was fine for about 2 weeks, but then one morning I could not start it, I mean everything was working fine, the dashboard, lights, even...

Was the fuel filter replaced when the fuel pump was installed? A clogged fuel filter may have been what took out pump#1, and it can quickly send pump #2 to the happy hunting ground also.

1992 Chrysler LeBaron 3.0 L. V6 Engine runs beautifully but after 16-20 miles highway driving engine stalls as if flooded, or as if fuel is cut-off. After sitting for a few minutes, will start and run...

the owner probably rerouted the fuel line because like my 92 chrysler lebaron v6 3.0 the fuel lines keep seeming to come off and the clamps always break. I have replaced the clamps 5 times in a month and replaced filters 2 times in 2 months. The only thing i could think of is that your fuel is being cut off possibly because there is no filter to clean all the junk out. Try putting a fuel filter on and see if that will work
