Had this problem after changed fuel pump. My problem was the fuel pump relay located inside your glove bow on the left side. The relay was not staying tight in the socket and was'nt make good contact. Put small flat piece of wood in front of relays and wraped elect. tape around to keep them tight. Solved problem.

There is not a part called a fuel sensor on this vehicle. If you have good electrical to ingition and no OBD codes witch it is most likely an OBD 11 system the first year for your vehicle. So is the MIL light on service engine light on if no then replace the fuel filter first its under the drivers door mounted to the frame rail also check if the fuel pump is putting out enough fuel and pressure when you have the filter off by turning the key to run and putting a plastic bottle on the line comeing from the fuel pump you should get about an ounce per second from the pump do a 5 second test you should get about 5 ounces of fuel. If you say get one ounce then the pump is no good if its OK then it is likely the fuel filter and this will solve the problem. The reason i'm telling you this is the fuel pumps on these vehicles had problems and unless you or someone else has replaced the pump it is the most likely cause of this problem good luck A nd there some fuel sensors on the fuel pump it self for pressure and gauge control and EVAP emissions control systems that wouldn't stop fuel flow to the throttle body they would just set codes off

I have a 99 jimmy with the 4.3 vortec. I have spark, and 61 pounds of fuel pressure. when turned over it act like it starves for fuel and is so close to starting but wont even with starting fluid. I d

It can take 70psi to start a vortec engine cold. It should start on starting fluid tho.
You might want to look at a couple of spark plugs to see if they are in good enough condition to run. The spark could be weak under compression if the plugs are worn.

Having replaced most of the electrical componts on a Vortec 4.3 1995 Jimmy engine motor barely starts and if starts run extemely rough

These are real common for having fuel leaks inside the intake causing them to run real rich. Have you checked for this or ever ran into it? Let me know. I can explain more about it.

1999 gmc 4.3 jimmy 4 weel drive, service engine light on, will not start

The first thing i would do is have the computer scanned for codes and see what codes are stored, you may have a bad fuelpump or a control module problem, check for fuel and spark, spray starting fluid into throtle and see if it starts if it does then you know its a fuel problem.

Where do you put in the transmission fluid for a 1995 GMC Jimmy? Is it in the same place as the dipstick?

Yes, you are correct. Start the engine, leave in Park position, check fluid level. If low, use a funnel and insert into the trans oil dipstick tube, add fluid as needed.
Caution: Do Not Overfill.
good luck.

I have a 1995 gmc jimmy 4x4 vortec engine and can not get it to 3

If it's a manual transmission, it's the bushings under the gear shift that a beat out of it. If it's an automatic, check you fluid level and filter. It may not be able to build enough pressure in the tranny if the filter is clogged or isn't enough fluid.

Will not start.

The "spider" up under the plastic intake plenm, the poppets athe end of each of the plastic tubes that supply the fuel to the cylinders get carbon on them and cant spray fuel. to buy a new one at GM its $550.00 Gm is the oly place you should look for one no matter the price aftermarket "copies" are not the same and while you are in there change the fuel prssure regulator at the sam time they are bot a big problem with the vortec
Change the fuel filte also and then EVERY EVERY 15,000 mles and don't worry about the engine oil change that once every 4 or 5 years that is not nearly as important as the fuel filter nothing will happen just remember the fuel filter and forget oil changes don't worry about all that 3000 mile stuff.
