Many things can cause this concern. on many GM vehicles there is a fuel pump test or prime lead under the hood. (green connector) .when grounded fuel pump should run. if not check fuel pump relay and all terminals for proper voltages,ground,or resistance. PCM may not be sending fuel pump "run" signal. if that is the case,PCM will need to be replaced and reprogramed. with a GM scan tool,you can control fuel pump on-off for easy diagnose. fuel pump is located in fuel tank and will require tank removal for testing or replacement of pump.

First check the fuel pump relay...It's located underhood junction block, in the left side of engine compartment.

Fuel rail pressure code 43 / Po191

Check to make sure the fuel pump is working. If the fuel pump is not working check the fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay, also check to make sure the inertia cut off switch hasn't been tripped. If the fuel pump is working then check the fuel pressure regulator.

Electric fuel pump stops working and after 15 or 20 min. starts working again ?

fuel pump is overheating. it takes the 15 to 20 min. to cool down. Low fuel in tank? in tank fuel pumps use the fuel to keep them cool. what is fuel pressure at the rail? if fuel pressure is too low the pump may be working too hard and overheating. need to test for a bad fuel pump or clogged fuel filter or possibly an obstruction in the fuel delivery system.

NO fuel getting to eng has new fuel pump ,spark ,power

Is the fuel pump working? i.e. if you (with a helper) disconnect fuel line nearest the fuel pump and turn on the key, does gas spray out? Beware that the fuel will spray out very fast as it is upwards of 18PSI or more. You can also get a fuel pressure gauge from an auto parts store and use that instead and not have fuel spraying all over the place. If the fuel pump is work, check the fuel filter(s). Some vehicles have more than one. If the pump is not working, do you have voltage at the pump itself? Fuel pump is usually controlled by a relay.

2006 Ford Expedition blowing Fuel Pump Relay fuse

Try resetting fuel pump. I do believe the reset button is on the forward passengers side of vehicle. The button is behind the plastic shield. Reset once or twice. This hopefully will fix your problem. Look in your manual for exact placement of fuel pump reset button

No power to fuel pump

If the fuel pump don't have power it means that, the fuel pump throttle is stuck. just go to a car mechanic and tell them that the fuel pump of your car don't work . if they ask say maybe the fuel pump throttle is stuck , so that the mechanic can do it fast.But if you want to work on it its the fuel pump throttle that you should work on because its stuck

Fuel wont flow

You likely have a bad lift pump in the tank. You are working on the fuel pump on the fuel rail right? This vehicle has two fuel pumps one low pressure and one high pressure.
