The in tank fuel pump is bad. When you buy the part, it's actually called a fuel pump module. He'll have to remove the filler tube, remove the straps holding the tank under the truck (use a floor jack and a piece of wood to slowly lower it down), disconnect the electrical connections and drag the tank out from under the truck. Use a hammer and a BRASS punch to remove the lock ring. The reason why you want to use a brass punch, it won't create any sparks. when putting the lock ring back on, be sure to grease the large O-ring so it doesn't kink and this will make it easier to re-install the lock ring. Installation is the reverse of removal.

01 Chevy Tahoe won't start running

Hook up a fuel pressure gage and check the pressure or get a can of spray starting fluid and see if engine starts and dies, if so the fuel pump was damaged from running out of gas, the reason is this, the tiny in tank fuel pump uses the fuel for both lubrication and cooling, to run out of gas is to quickly destroy the pump.

My 92 geo tracker wont start. All it does is crank crank and crank more. My uncle has it rigged and have no clue what wires go where. So a wiring diagram for it would be nice. We checked everything, it...

Have you checked the fuel regulator and the pressure from the fuel pump to ensure it is not weak. In addition, you might want to check and see if fuel is going into the cyl. the catalytic converter may be plugged based on the year of the car. To check this you could pull the o2 sensor out of the exhaust and see if it keeps running, realize it won't run at 100%. If it is the back pressure will not allow fuel to come into the cyl.

2002 jeep liberty turns over but will not crank. I hear the fuel pump at the gas tank but it still acts like it isn't getting any gas, I thought it was the gas because my husband's truck stopped...

Check for pressure at your fuel rail, If your fuel pump is working correctly you should be getting fuel spraying out of the rail when you press in on the needle valve (sometimes covered by a small cap)

This will let you know if your fuel pump is working, and at least if fuel is making it past your filter.

1985 corvette cranks but won't start, fuel pressure good, oil is good also, it doesn't seem to be geeting any fuel. New fuel pump, filter & gas. Is there a security aystem problem?

Check to see if you have spark, if you do, and still it does not start, then you may think that fuel is not getting to it. At this point, use some starting fluid and spray it at the throttle opening. That should start it for a few seconds and give you the answer.

Tried to start my 1998 Gd. Cherokee Lmtd. but it seems doesn´t pump gas

Hi, you should start by checking all your fuses,if they are all good ,check fuel pump relay, if this is ok , check fuel filter, if filteris good ,you should run a fuel presure text, this will determine if your fuel pump is ok, good luck.......
