Best Answer

I just had the same situation with my 98 Sable - starts & runs fine, 5 minutes later won't start. Happened 4 or 5 times over the course of almost 3 weeks.

Ultimately the pump just totally failed.

It sounds like you have eliminated the power supply as the source with the new wiring. I wouldn't be surprised if you're not going to end up with a new fuel pump in the near future.

Can electrical items be replaced with somthing els?

Some basic electrical items - like for example a fruit blender or even a washing machine - can be replaced with mechanical systems that need other form of power (like human power). We can say that such electrical items replaced the mechanical items in the first place. For other items - like cell phones or TVs - no we can not replace the electrical power.

Why would a 1999 Chevy Suburban need the fuel pump replaced three times in three months?

It's possible you might have some debris in bottom of your gas tank. That debris might be getting sucked up into the fuel pump. It is most likely the electrical connection on the flange. It's a 4 pin connector that is intermittent at best. I've had it happen on 2 different chevy's and the only way to fix it is to remove the plug and hard wire it in.
