Had same problem with a freinds Chevy G20 Van. You could hear the pump running and cutting off when it go to pressure. Yet was not getting fuel to the throttle body. I took the tank off the van and pulled the pump from the top of the tank. Iturn out the pump consisted of two plastic mechanical parts which were connected in the center by a rubber hose with plastic clamps as keepers. The hose between the two connections was totaly deteriorated. The rubber actually turn to a grease like substance. I replaced the hose and reinstall the pump and the van started on the first try. Ive never seen this before and I dont know if the original hose found in the tank was actually the factory original. I do know once re[placed itstarted right up where it wouldnt before.

My fuel pump stopped working. I don't here the pump running any more I have a 1993 chevy g20 van. what and how to check thanks BILL

Check the fuel pump fuse on the fuse block first because the fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank. It is the 20a (yellow) just above the fuse puller.

I have a chevy van g 20 with a 350 engine. It drive fine at time but it will start loosing pressure and it turns off and start chocking. I placed in in the computer and it said it was the fuel pump. I...

loosing fuel pressure, have you replace fuel pressure regulator, if the regulator is bad, it will have not enough pressure in between the injectors and the regulator. the fuel regulator maintain a proper pressure so the injectors will spray the correct amount of fuel every time the computer tells its to. weak pressure will cause injectors not to spray correct amount of fuel into the intake although will cause your engine to starve for fuel just like you have explained. the parts cost around 135 bucks and easy to replace.

I have a 93 Chevy G20 VAN G20 with a 4.3L engine that has TBI my van starts and runs for a few days. Then it will not start after sitting for a day or two it starts again and runs fine. What could be the...

There are three relays all grouped together on the firewall on the passengers side. All three are related to your situated. We can eliminate one of them because you stated that the fuel pump is operating fine. Now that leaves the relay for the ECM(engine control module) this tells the injectors, cold start and run, when and how much fuel to supply and also controls ignition timing and spark advance. The third controls the AC compressor. Now I've got to remind you that I started working on fuel injection systems the day they started failing here in the US around 1972.These were such vehicles as Mercedes, Saab and Volvo. I've worked on every configuration, TBI, MPI, diesel etc.etc. I may on occasion cross one fact with another or mispronounce certain aspect of a system however, These three injectors are where you want to concentrate your efforts. With some finnesse you can swap the harnesses from one to another. If your car runs fine and your AC suddenly does not, then you know that that relay is faulty. Do this until you get your answer. Best of luck my friend, Dana

That sounds like the ABS pump. If you have 4 wheel ABS that pump has a history of problems Leave it alone if its working now. Pump is very expensive.

1989 chevy g20 STALLING

Normally on chevy ignition modules when they go bad, they will quit when they get hot & after cooling down will work again, so when you have them tested they have cooled down. I would try changing it & see if it wont fix it.

Chevy van won't start

Check for spark and fuel. If you have spark make sure your fuel pump is working. If pump is working and no spark, check for spark off coil wire. If nothing there either, remove ignition module and take it to Napa and have them check it. Have them test it several times.
