Hi

the problem sounds like either the fuel relay, or wire4s coming from the fuel pump to the fuse box.

the relay is most probable as when you turn the electro magnet inside may sway from side to side if faulty. You will have to locate the position of the fuel pump and trace the wires up to the fuse box if the relay is not at fault.

Hope this helps if you need more info get back to me

Regards

Dan

If the fuse consistently blows when making left turns you most likely have a wire somewhere ground that fuse circuit. Check the interior Fuse box locations. If you have added an alarm package, changed the Radio or Stereo amplifier circuit to the vehicle those are the most likely source of your short. You should also check the power distribution box under the hood if you have added an Alarm or Stereo amplifier to the vehicle as it is common to tap power circuits in that area as well.

97 chevy suburban missfire cylinder #3 at start up

If you replaced the plug, wire and cap then it's either gona be the intake gasket seeping or a bad valve. Gasket more than likely I'd say bc the vortec motors are really bad about leaking or blowing the lower intake gaskets

2003 chevy silverado injector 2 fuse blows when ignition is turned on

You ohmed them but did you check them for continuity to GROUND, to find out if one of them is grounded out ! They normally ground to ecm/pcm not to eng. so check them for short to grd with wire harness unplugged from all injectors and check 1 at a time, If they all show open...no ground then check your power should be pink for chafing or bare short to ground. this will be on Bank 2 you are checking which is the Head that setsfarthest back to firewall. Bank 1 is Head farthest to front towards Radiator.

I have a fuse that keeps blowing and the white letters are gone so i dont know what it goes to

you have some componet that has melted down contacts (it's hotwire is grounded) so every-time u turn on the key power is fed to direct short and the fuse blows.So look around at things that dont work.after fuse blows does motor still operate,keep it running and find out what doesnt work then check that component for melted,grounded wires...
