You should be able to hear the pump run inside the fuel tank. on the firewall there is a relay under the black cover on the passengers side, thats the fuel pump relay. the ORANGE wire should have 12V, The wire going to the pump is GRAY and should have power when cranking. . theres also a 20 amp fuse there, make sure its good. If the gray wire has power, most likely the pump is bad. At the pump there is a BLACK wire that attaches to the frame near the left rear wheel, thats the ground for the pump make sure its good and tight.

My 1994 BMW 740i will not run but motor is cranking turning over and trying to start to run like lack of fule.

Try spraying carb. cleaner in throttle body while turning the key. If this works, most likely have a bad fuel pump. Good Luck

No fuel up to injecter pump truck just stalled

Did you check for fuel pressure on the line from the tank while you had the filter off? Do you hear your fuel pump prime when you turn the ignition on? First I would listen for the hum of the fuel pump when you turn the key to the run position (not starting the engine) May have to get a helper and listen at the gas filler neck with the cap off. If you dont hear your fuel pump, check your fuses and relays. If the relay clicks when your helper turns the key on ( put your finger on the relay and ear down close to feel/hear the relay actuate)., and fuse is good, yet you do not hear the pump prime, I would say your fuel pump is shot.

If it is a diesel,check for fuel pressure coming off the direct drive pump hose while cranking the motor.

1994 gmc surburban turns over fine but engine won't start

You can check to see if the fuel pump is bad..Remove gas cap and listen into tank while another person turns key on.If you here a buzzing noise the fuel pump is most likely OK...If you don't here anything Check owners manual for fuse location and check to see if there are any blown..There is also a fuel relay fuse under the hood

We have a 1991 gmc jimmy we want to know what would cause the fuel enjectors to not fire on cold start. but we prime the motor with a little gas the motor will start and the injector will start spraying...

It sounds like an air lock or a fuel pump issue. firstly get the filter changed and bled through this might help. if the problem persists check the pump.

Regards

1997 chevrolet lumina not pumping gas from the gas tank

Replace fuel pump is the answer given by those who don't really know anything or just want to sell pumps. Too many peole just replace there pumps only to find it doesn't solve the problem. You have to diagnose the problem. This could be bad fual pump relay, open in fuel pump circuit, ground problem in fuel pump circuit. Check voltage at connector near fual tank. low voltage here indicates a possible wire or relay problem. Check resistance to chassis ground from ground pin at connector supplying ground to pump. Any resitance over .3 ohms indicates a ground problem. Check resistance across the pump motor, infinite (open) resitance indicates a bad pump. normal pump resistance is usually in the range of 2 to 4 ohms or so (Check manufacturers specs to get your pump motors resistance). If you do pull pump, check operation by putting 12 volts (correct polarity) across the original pump before buying replacement. If you hear (or feel) pump run, problem may be somewhere else (not pump). With a little well thought out diagnistics, you should be able to quickly pinpoint the real problem, even when it just looks like a fule pump problem.
