    how would i check the fuel pressure?i replaced the cap at the last tune up but the store didnt have the rotor i needed..

  • Michael Gutwein May 11, 2010

    Im sorry you need to get a fuel pressure tester with a screw valve for GMs on the end. SEARS has some for like 40 bucks. its worth the investment :)

  • Michael Gutwein May 11, 2010

    how much pressure r you getting? the first thing is to see exactly how much pressure your getting, alot of the newer GM trucks need that 60psi to start. they can get 45 or even 50 and will not start. check that first. these are really picky nowadays



    let me know,

    michael

    Sounds like your distributor... Check cap for corrosion or build up

Did you replace the fuel filter, and do you know for a fact the pump is getting power and ground when you turn the key switch on ?

Cranks but wont start

Someone will need to check the circuit at the pump to see if it is getting power from the relay. If it is the pump should be running when you first turn the key on.
You can also check for power at the pump relay.

how much feul pressure, it must maintain a certain amount if injected, or throtle body, try priming it ,and see if it helps, ( poor a little into inlet ) and check it , if it starts you need to check pump, or maybe just filter

1999 GMC Suburban Wont Turn Over

It sounds like you have a security problem, I had the same thing it would fire and run for half of a second and then that was it if anything at all. Had the security system rebooted, now it starts and runs fine.

Engine is cranking, but it wont turn over

Good for you as you already have an idea.

Check your battery and the starter. It's a minor issue.
