A fuel pressure test done at the fuel rail will verify the condition of the fuel pump. Before going to that much trouble check the fuse, and fuel pump relay. If either one is defective the fuel pump will not function.
How Can You Tell If The Fuel Pump Relay Switch Is Bad? Have a mechanic do a fuel pressure check this will tell you if the pump is working properly or on most vehicles you should be able to hear the pump kick on. You can also have the wiring checked to see if the pump is getting power...
You can tell if your fuel pump shutoff switch is bad, if the fuel pump does not shut off when you flip the switch. You can also tell if the switch is bad by looking at the wire connections.
Probably the fuel pump is bad.
Being a GM, one reason could be a bad fuel pump, another reason could be a bad fuel pump and then again it could be a bad fuel pump. I would check the fuel pump.
A fuel pressure test will help determine the condition of the fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator provided the fuel pump electrical circuit, fuse and relay check okay.
the fuse, and relay for the pump. or a bad fuel filter or the fuel pump itself. good-day !
What is it doing
If its not pumping.
Probably a bad fuel pump. A common problem for GM.
The best thing to do is replace the fuel filter anyway. You will need to do it even if the fuel pump is bad, so you have nothing to lose. You can listen to hear iif the fuel pump is kicking on at all. If it is, just do the fuel filter. Its much cheaper and easier than the fuel pump. Then you can test the fuel pressure to see if the pump is bad after you replace the filter.
it does not run!!!!!
If it is stalling or hard to start that is a symptom of a weak pump. If you do not hear it run for a few seconds after turning on the ignition without starting the engine, then either the fuse is blown, relay is bad or the pump is bad. If you do hear it running, then it may be weak or the fuel filter may be clogged. You may have to listen at the fuel filler door to actually hear the pump. Replace the fuel filter and then run a fuel pressure test at the fuel rail. If you have no or weak pressure the pump is bad.
