Assuming there are no trouble codes in the computer, I would check fuel pressure at the rail next.

SOURCE: 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe 6.5 Diesel

I have a 1996 Chevy 3500 6.5 TD, it had two fuel pumps installed. The symptom  the engine dies abruptly. Will not start again. I have the "Helm" OEM service manual for the truck, the closest thing referenced to your 0018 Cam reference Pulse, is Inj Pmp Cam Reference missed. The injection is manufactured  by Stanadyne for Chevrolet. It is an electronic fuel pump that on mine was located directly in the V of the engine and covered with a plastic "beauty" shield that I was told just baked the electronic components of the fuel pump. Chevrolet had a recall on their fuel pumps back in 2003 that were on 1996 and 1997 6.5 TD due to the low sulfur fuels, it paid for replacement by the dealer if this is your original fuel pump. The injector pump has a circuit board that plugs into the right side of the pump as you look at the engine from the front. There are aftermarket PMI's that come with extended wiring harness and plug. The idea is that you throw the pretty plastic 6.5TD cover away and mount the new PMI on the air box intake with some self tapping screws. This keeps the electronics cooler and then if the PMI craps out, you don't have to change the whole pump, which is a pain. Here's the good news, the PMI cost $300, the injector assembly from Chevy $1800, from Stanadyne $1300 for a rebuilt one. You may only have fried the PMi and thus if you get the PMI remote kit from a Stanadyne dealer, usually a good diesel shop will know one (all they make is fuel pumps), it will save you a bundle. Good luck, let me know how it goes.

Chevy Tahoe sputters than dies

i would first try to replace the fuel filter.usually there filter accumalates debris in the gas tank especially if you you ru the tank close to empty.filter location needs to be traced from the tank toward the motor.you will see a cylinder inline with a strap.part usually runs around 20.00. also when you initally turn the key before start you will hear a hum for about 2 sec. this is the fuel pump pushing the fuel up to motor.so if you hear this pump is working.

My 97 tahoe the rpm's start going funny engine startes running like its missing popping and ******* and die's it has new fuel pump ,sending unit ,rotor,cap.cam censor ,fuel relay everytime i c

I'm assuming you replaced the fuel filter when you did the pump.
You'll have to try to figure out if you are loosing fuel to the injectors or spark to the plugs to proceed.
Its possible something is failing inside the distributor among other things.
I'm also assuming you have checked the computer for trouble codes.

Car was parked and running and just killed on its own and will not start. does this sound like the fuel pump or maybe fuel filter?

If the battery is strong and charged, starter is fine, car ran okay while getting progressively worse until it died and won't restart now, might be fuel filter or pump. I've dealt with two cars with fuel filter issues. Both would idle fine, but run progessively worse under load and eventually die and not start although everything else checked out. Engine turned fast enought to start, battery strong, alternator fine, air cleaner clean, all that. No start. Changed fuel filters and done. Everything back to normal. Both cars were about model year 1990 (1989 and 1991). Replaced one in a parking lot and car fired right back up and powered on home just fine, whereas the week leading up to it it ran worse and worse, hesitated on acceleration and finally would die if you hit the gas. Fuel filter may be in engine compartment. Looks like a canister with an in and an out for fuel. Pump is in gas tank and is way more work and money. Good luck, hope this helps.

Chevy 2003 tahoe won't start

its simple to diagnose. If you have no pressure when it doesnt start then you need a pump. When it doesnt start spray some quick start and if it starts you need a fuel pump

My 2000 Tahoe will not crank unless you have over 1/4 tank of gas, last week it started dying while driving down the road, After 100 miles it died and then got more frequent and now dies after a mile. It...

Try replacing the fuel filter first and the primary fuel filter screen in the fuel pump may be dirty also. As for the the one in the gas tank which is a part of the fuel pump, your just going to have to keep the gas tank half full and add some fuel injector cleaner to the gas tank for the next feet fill ups. As for the fuel filter along the frame rail on the drivers side, they have a life of 30,000 miles or 1 year and needs to be replaced within those recommended intervals. Good luck and hope this helps, Note: the gas is what keeps the fuel pump cool, so low fuel in the gad tank will have the fuel pump run hotter causing it to fail prematurely
