What's your problem? 2000 Yukon XL Yukon died while driving down the highway like it ran out of fuel. Had 1/4 tank. No fuel pressure.

You'll need to check the circuit from the fuel pump relay back to the pump. The computer grounds the relay.
If the pump is running the filter could be clogged.

1997 mazda 626 won't start.

Are the plugs wet with fuel?
Check for spark. No spark? it may be the ignition module.

Plugs dry and spark present? No fuel?Spray a little starting fluid and see if it will run on that.
Then check pump fuses and for fuel pump noise.

Ran out of gas now it wont start why just brought a new fuel pump four month ago

Make sure you can hear your fuel pump turning on, put your key in the ignition and it turn it to the ON position without turning the engine over, if you can't hear it from inside the truck have a friend put their head near the gad tank and listen for it. ( no sense in your doing it, you have a key to turn :P ). Even though it's a new pump it could have still failed.

If the pump is coming on then replace your fuel filter, when your tank was run dry, any debris in the tank could have gotten sucked into the lines by the pump, then clog the filter.

The Fuel filter sits behind the frame rail directly below the driver's door. The tools you will need are metric, 15, 16 and 20 mm wrenches. LOTS of rags to catch the runoff fuel. Pack the area around the tubing and the filter with rags so when you break the fittings loose, the fuel won't run down your arm and the driveway.
The bolts that hold the filter to the frame, should be sprayed with WD-40 before you start. There is one strap that holds the filter that is very tight.
There is also a wire loom that should be moved and most likely you will break the plastic holders, use your imagination with zip ties, or go by the actual parts to replace the plastic holders

Thought the fuel pump was bad, engine died but after hitting tank with mallet it started up and ran. replace fuel filter. started and ran a few min then died wouldnt start up. replace fuel relay still wont...

If you hit the tank and it ran? The fuel pump is bad. By striking the tank you jarred the pump, causing what mechanics call "The last ride" Peice of sound advise, Replace with ac delco pump. The zone pumps go out usaly within months if not days

1997 gmc sierra shuts off while driving

Had same problem with a Yukon. Turned out to be a bad fuel pump (Won't show codes.) When cold ran fine, heated up, no pressure. Would start after sitting for about 1/2 hour. When engine dies on you check for fuel pressure under the hood.
