I have a "engine miss" on my 1995 gmc jimmy. it has a 4.3 vortec engine. I replaced the fuel pump in the gas tank, both oxygen sensors, distributer cap & rotor,spark plugs,ignition wires, e.g.r valve, cpi unit, fuel filter not all at the same time but the "miss" from 1000rpm-1800rpm still there amazingly **SOMETIMES** Ican't figure it out.

These have problems with injector faults. It will show up as a missfire. Identify which cylinder. One thing I saw that works is to have a true fuel injector cleaning done. This is done by a pressurized cleaner, bypassing the fuel pump and running solely off this cleaner. This used to be the TSB solution at the dealer prior to replacing the injector at fault. Do not let them do the "I.V." set up. All this does is **** cleaner(something similiar to blue water)through the intake. Not always effective. The pressurized system is truely effective. You will notice at least some improvement, if not totally. If it fails to fix the issue, you will be replacing injector/s. The reason this occurs is carbon build up and then the injector drops fluid instead of atomizing. Let me know if you need anything.

Are the fuel injectors firing on all cylinders?
If they are not, it's a computer problem.

My 1995 GMC JIMMY , i dropped tank ,cleaned it out, replaced fuel pump & sending unit. when i try to start the car it wont turn over, it tries to but acts as if its strugling

I would start with a new battery once the cells in a battery go bad they won't hold charge so when you jump them and try to start them they aren't holding in voltage in the battery which doesn't allow the car to start. A starter pulls a lot of amp. If you don't replace the battery stalest try charging it on a low amp battery charger

1995 GMC JIMMY WONT START UNLESS I PRIME IT THEN IT JUST DIES ITS FUEL INJECTED

It sounds like you have a defective fuel pump. The pump is locate inside the fuel tank, the fuel tank must be removed to replace the pump. Please follow this procedure to remove the fuel tank.
Disconnect neg battery cable, safely raise vehicle, place floor jack under tank, loosen gas tank straps and allow tank to slowly drop halfway, disconnect( this is the hard part) fuel lines,and power connections at tank. Drop tank. With a brass hammer/punch carefully remove retaining ring/seal.Reverse to install.A new pump module will cost you $300-$400 at the dealer. Don't use a cheap pump replace the entire assembly because this is a float/sender/pump/ in one. Replace your fuel filter too or the fuel pump warranty is voided..

I have a 1995 GMC Jimmy and when I start it it will run for a second it rattles in the tank. New pump assembled already and I need to know what else it could be....if flutters in the tank

ther is a square piece spot welded in the gas tank, the fuel pump go's in this sounds like it came appart you well have to drop your gas tank and REPLACE IT DO NOT TRY TO FIX IT IS A POTENCIAL BOMB IF YOU TRY TO WELD go after market gas tank its cheeper and well work just as well good luck CJ ps that square in the tank is for low fuel conditions it is suppose to trap gas in the square so the pump dose not run dry

My 1995 jimmy starts hard. I have to pump gas pedel 5 or 6 times while turning it over?

it's a 95 with probably over 100,000 miles with a vortec engine. i would change the fuel filter,plugs and wires (simple tune-up) and every fill up i would put a bottle of fuel injector cleaner in the tank or take it to a firestone or other shop that can do a fuel system cleaning and injector cleanig

1995 GMC Sierra

Just a thought, have you checked yout TPS(throttle position sensor)? I had similar problems with my 89 GMC Jimmy 4.3l, however a code 44 is strange. Also check to see if your problems go away if you advance the timing a few degree's.

Hope this helps
