As with many Chevy products, the fuel pump has the fuel level sending unit all-in-one. Replace the pump. Nothing related to the fuel gauge in the engine compartment.
Remove the fuel tank, and the pump is on the top side. Do not use cheap replacement from OReilly's or AutoZone...only use NAPA or OEM Chevy part.
My 01 Chevy venture just got a new fuel pump put in gas gauge still isn't working proper so had another fuel pump put in same problem. My relay fuse is good fuel pump fuse is good. I have to have my wires checked, make sure my sensor on top of pump connector wires are good. What else can I be looking for?
No it's not, if your van is running fine, fuel pump is good, just the fuel gauge sending unit is bad, to repair, the gas tank will have to come off, the sending unit sit on the same hanger the fuel pump is on.
the fuel level gauge just went out na dthats why the light is on. to replace it you have to replace the entire sending unit. cost is $500.00 plus to have replaced. if you can live with it and keep check on your milage, I would wait for the pump to go out.
Hi:
Your tank sending unit is bad. Unfortunately, it is part of the fuel pump assembly, and the part costs around $400, give or take. plus installation labor. It is an all too common problem on GM vehicles, as I have had to change it on my last 2 GMs. If you do an internet search you will find plenty of others in the same boat!
NO, on the fuel pump assembly is a swinging type arm with a float on the bottom end and some metal teeth on the other, as the fuel leval goes up or down these teeth contact a plate on the body of the fuel pump assemby that send a signal to the gauge. Now either your float arm is sticking, guage is bad, or the sending unit is bad. I would suggest the sending unit, it is availble as a repair unit, you dont have to buy the whole fuel pump. The gauges usually last the life of the car.
this problem is caused by a defective gas tank sending unit, the gas tank must be removed and the fuel level sending unit replaced. and yes I am sorry but it is very expensive to fix.
Your right to think about gas but the fuel pumps fail all kinds of crazy ways. The easy way to cheack to see if its the pump is to listen to the tank ( with your ear right against it ) and turn the key on to here the pump come on. If you don't hear anything and the hearing it'self is OK then with someone trying to start the car bang on the tank to shake it and see if the pump will come back on (sometimes they quit altogether and this won't work) The vehical may start right up. If it does the pump is still bad even thogh its running and may not restart as early as the next ry or even quit while running as it already did to you. Rember evven though the gauge says theres gas there may not be be as someone could have stole it and the gauge got bent during the theif. Do'nt look in with a lit match just cause you saw it on TV. Shake the car with a funnell in the fuel cap and listen for gas slushing around. Nothing or slight your out. Listen for the pump this way as it'll really hum in the funnell even full of gas
what stops?
