My 2001 gmc jimmy will turn over keeps turning but wont catch. the shop put a new battery, ignition distributor cap and replaced rotor, and ignition pick up coils. it worked when i took it home but the next day wouldn't start i brought it back now they say it is the fuel pump. we got it started again and drove it home. PLEASE HELP ME
THANK YOU
Did they do a fuel pressure pressure test to determine that its fuel pump? And if so what was the p.s.i.?It should be around 55 to 60 p.s.i. a few pounds under 55 p.s.i. Pump needs replaced, Your shop should have chk. this when it was there the first time. Did they by chance chg. the fuel filter, that can hinder it from starting too.
Testimonial: "it was the fuel pump thank you"
The t.p.s is for idel control if thats bad it would stall, but start back up, The only thing i can tell you is it may be working now but what happens when it won't start the next time,or quits when your in the middle of a bussey road like a e- way Fuel pumps are a very common problem with all G.M. cars and trucks, on this site at least 5 out of 10 are fuel pump problems or fuel related. The best thing to do to guard aginst fuel pump problems is chg. fuel filter regularly and don't run around alot with less than 1 /4 tank of gas.

They said when they checked it there was no fuel pressure. We got it started and drove home last night about 25km. when we got home I shut it off then tried restarting it and it started. If it was the fuel pump would it start again? What about the trottle poisitioning sensor?
sorry. it took a couple days to get the fuel pump. thank you for all your support and help.
I HAVE A 2001 GMC JIMMY AND IT DONT START PLEASE HELP ME
The vehicle had a bad ignition switch so it was taken to a reputable technician shop. He charged nearly $350. to do the replacement and said he had to drill it out to replace the switch. Now the key has some play inside of the ignition and the battery drains within a day or two. I have taken it back twice and the problem has yet to be fixed. Any solutions?
