MY 96 SUBURBAN 2500 7.4L SUDDENLY DIED WHILE DRIVING. AFTER I COASTED TO A STOP I TRIED TO RESTARTING BUT NO LUCK. HAVING HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED BEFORE I KNEW TO LISTEN FOR THAT SOUND OF THE PUMP PRIMING, IT DID NOT PRIME. I HAD THE WHOLE FUEL ASSEMBLY REPLACED (SENDER, FLOATER & PUMP) BUT IT STILL WILL NOT START. THE ECM FUSE KEEPS BLOWING OUT. WHAT COULD THE PROBLEM BE??

The key is to find out what is causing the ECM fuse to always blow. With just the key on try and see if any codes are set in the ECM. If not, try a new ECM. If the fuse still blows, then disconnect all accessible electrical for everything, including radios, accessories, relay boxes,etc. except the ECM. If the fuse still blows, then probably something wrong with the wiring to the ECM. If it doesn't blow then start hooking up things one at a time until it blows again. Once it blows, that is your problem.

I assume the fuel pump fuse is good?
The only time voltage will be sent to the fuel pump will be the first 2 to 3 seconds if the starter is not engaged. You will want to crank the engine over and check for voltage on the load side of the relay, circuit #30 at the relay.
Let me know after you check.

You need to bleed your lines and get all the air out.

Un plug the Computer to see if the fuse doesnt blow now. You may have a short in the PCM or the harness.

Where is the emergency fuel shut off switch located on a 1993 chevy suburban?

There is no emergency fuel shut off switch on your vehicle , ford vehicles have one , called inertia fuel shut off .
If they replaced the fuel pump an your still having the same problem i would check fuel pump relay and the electrical circuit for the fuel pump . Voltage drop testing the electrical circuit will show problems most people would attribut to a bad fuel pump , but it's not the pump.
Testing Electric Fuel Pump Problems with Voltage Drop Test
Fuel pump electrical circuit diagnosis no fuel pressure testing GM

I would take it back an tell them to fix it correctly . or demand your money back .

Car died while driving, won't start

have you checked to see if you have spark? Your ignition control module could of went bad in the distributor, its a $29.99 part at autozone.

If you have spark, check to see if you have fuel, is there fuel squirting into the carburetor when you look in it and work the gas?

Driving fine when motor suddenly died. Coasted to side of the road. Other electrics ok and motor cranks over.

Probably the fuel pump. when these go out, they go out, most of the time with no warning. Have the fuel pressure checked. Or disconnect the fuel line and put it in a jar or some other container and turn the motor over. If the pump is working you will get gas, if no gas, then no pump! If you have gas the it is probably the ECM. The module that controls the engine firing.

I just replaced my fuel pump on my 96 suburban i am getting fuel all the way back to the pump and the pump is working. i fired it up for the first time it started right up ran for about 3 mins and then...

Check the fuel shut off valve - might be in the rear storage area or glove compt, see you owners manual for the location. Also, try pulling your negative battery cable off for a minute or so and reconnect.

So today my car coasted to a stop at my office

This very well could be the fuel pump, but I would suggest changing the fuel filter first,(if you dont regulary have it serviced). As for the cost the pump will cost about $80.00 and the labor will depend on the technician that does the work, but to estimate it at my rate would be $75.00. Thanks and good luck with your repair.
