97 suburban- fuel pump changed 5 times, fuse changed many times, Ignition regulator changed 6 times. Now the fuel pump will not come on and it is brand new all was checked and it is getting electrical spark. Brand new battery installed two weeks ago. New starter was installed less than a month ago. The vehicle when it is running will start right up with the new battery. This last time it ran good no problem starting, no cutting out parked it and would not start. The fuel pump was less than 1 week going in. Parked the car after driving it 60 miles and it would not start. Fuel pump was taken out and found the screen had come off. It was replaced with a brand new fuel pump. Now we are not getting any fire back to the fuel pump. The little fuse in the front of the engine was replaced. We are at a loss as to what to do anymore. This is very frustrating. The last year has been hell with fuel pumps and regulators. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? This is an awesome vehicle and has never given me any grief until a year ago.

SOURCE: 95 GMC Jimmy 4.3l W vin rough idle

My problem was solved when I repaired my 4 wd activation dash switch. The switch was contacting on 2WD & 4HI at the same time. The front differential activation is vacuum activated possibly creating a tug of war that didn't actually engage it but drained off vacuum from the engine? A theory at best but stumbbled across it because I knew the switch wasn't working properly I repaired it and low and behold rough idle disappeared and all is good for 3 weeks running.

Take off the distributor cap. Check the star wheel that is splined to the distributor shaft that the pick-up coil uses. Make sure this wheel is not loose on the distributor shaft. It is right above the pick-up. If it is loose, replace the distributor. This is a common problem. If it needs one, all the part stores stock the distributor.

SOURCE: 1992 Suburban 1500 with 5.7. Cranks but no spark.

Did you try to get any DTC codes from the ECM. If not here is the procedure to retrieving the DTC codes. http://www.troublecodes.net/GM/ Check the fuses, make sure there all good. hope you find a DTC code which would help us find out what is wrong with the suburban quicker. Keep me posted and good luck, be glad to help you.

GMC suburban crank, no start, ALL EIGHT INJECTION CONNECTIONS ARE CONSTANT WHILE TRYING TO START.

2nd try.

  • Fuel pressure is good.
  • Test lamp show VCM is commanding injectors to open.

So your thought is the common side of the injectors are not powered. I believe this is the correct schematic for a '97 suburban.
There is the ECM1 fuse but hard to believe that fuse is blown, check it anyway.

98 jeep put new crank sensor ' coil pickup' and coil ' i have no power to the fuse block on finder no fire to plugs and dont here fuel pump

No power to fuse block? This may be the problem. Check all your maxi fuses in the power distribution block. I think all the maxi fuses are hot at all times-check if they are getting power, and fuses are good.

Also in the power distribution center is fuse F15- a 30amp fuse for fuel pump relay, and fuse F6- a 15amp fuse, also for the fuel pump wiring. Check that both are good, and have power-F15 is hot at all times. F6 is hot in run or start.
This is the 4.0L inline 6, right? That is the engine diagram I have. The coil signal is from the ECU. Does the check engine light come on with key on, so you know the ECU is powered?

97 bonneville cylinder 6

I would say a zero chance of the fuel pump being the cause.
Could be the spark plug, wire or coil - or a vac leak or the fuel injector.

My 1997 gmc 1500 suburban will not run but it pulls no dtc codes on the cpu

My 97 Suburban had a similar problem. Would not crank on a regular basis. Replaced spark plug wires, plugs and rotor cap. Vehicle cranked and ran just fine, plugs were in poor shape. Checked fuel pressure, above 55psi with engine running or just the switch turned on. Immediately after switching engine off the pressure would bleed off to "0" PSI. Otherwise everything OK. Problem solved, so I thought. A couple days latter I had to make a road trip from Mobile, Al to Fort Meyers, Fl when cranking problem re-occurred after approx. 100 miles into trip. I stopped at parts houses on the way to ask questions and to obtain their best ideas, at times it would take 30 minutes before engine would again crank after making a stop. I replaced almost all of the sensors. Finally made it to Fort Meyers that night. Next morning vehicle was dead would not crank no matter what I tried. Fuel pressure OK. Only thing left to replace, Fuel Injector spider system. Problem solved.

The fuel pump kicks on sometimes but in the middle

Your fuel pump is failing - time to get a new one.
The part can cost $150 to $300 depending on where you buy it and what brand
The labor is free if you do it yourself. You need to get the gas level low and then drop the gas tank to get access to it (the opening it on the top of the gas tank - don't think suburbans has access panel under seat/floor).
Mechanic/dealers will charge several hundred dollars.
If you do this yourself, you can get a free loaner tool at Autozone to remove the locking ring. The tool is brass with a rubber hammer (don't want to make a spark has you tap the locking ring). And get a new seal ring. Google "change fuel pump" or even "change fuel sender unit" for details. Add Suburban to see if you can find a write specific to your vehicle.

My 1997 chevy tahoe will not start without starting fluid. I hear the fuel pump running and have changed the fuel pressure regulator already and the fuel filter. The pump is only a year old. Have checked...

IVE HAD PLENTY OF THESE GO OUT EVEN A MONTH LATER. AS FAR AS THE STARTING FLUID JUST TRY AND CYCLE KEY BUT KEEP IT FROM TURNING STATER OVER. TURN ON AND OFF ABOUT 3 TO 5 TIMES IT SHOULD BUILD ENOUGH PRESSURE TO START. TO START MINIMUN PRESS IS 55PSI.
