Then check it. Autozone, O'Reilleys, and others rent or loan fuel pressure gauges. Just hook it up, check pressure with engine off- key on, make sure it holds pressure for a few minutes, then check with engine running. If both readings are at specs. you do not have a fuel pressure problem. If pressure is low, weak pump or fuel filter change or bad fuel pressure regulator- most common reasons. Sometimes leaking injectors.

Easy to connect a pressure gauge: there is a test port valve right on the engine fuel rail, covered by a black cap fitting. The pressure for your envoy is probably around 50-55 psi, I'm sure the parts store could tell you, or any mechanic could look it up.

SOURCE: Fuel Sensor is not working properly

U must replace the fuel gauge sending unit to correct the problem with your gauge, the sender is located inside the fuel tank, the tank must be removed to replace the sender.

I stalled a fuel pump on 2002 GMC Sonoma 4 cyl. She stared right upI installed a fuel pump on my 2002 GMC Sonome engine 4 cyl. It started righd not startet up. But, after driven 2 miles, stalled

It is very important to look at the four pin connector that plugs onto fuel tank sending unit the hot wire that runs the pump gets loose and burn the connector making intermittent connection they make a replacement plug for this problem also check the connections on the inside i have those fail once.

How to fix bad fuel economy. I just got 37km to 1/4 tank. There is something wrong. What is it?

to test properly you have to fuel to full drive 100 km return where you filled up and check for example 100 km = $10 to 10 liters gas so the level of fuel has to be exact and the price of gas the same as well the liters of fuel used as well if you drive under 100km an hrs it helps as well in the winter running the car to warm up takes gas as well also the tire pressure all equal oil change to date spark plugs replaced air filter clean there are so many things to take into account so double check all to save more
