My new project truck: '99 K2500 Suburban

So. Can confirm that two more fuel pressure test kits show precisely zero PSI at the fuel rail. I'm so friggin confused....

Have pressed the Schrader valve? I'm guessing you do have fuel pressure...

Do you have a scanner to look at fuel trims? Any codes on your dash?

 

[Dravec]

Absolutely no codes. I've checked every day. And I get a small dribble of fuel at the valve. Not a spray as I would expect. But I would assume I have some pressure if I can drive her. Although when she's hot, it feels like a 305, not a 454

So, I'm happy to introduce the new family member that is gonna sap some of my truck funds. Y'all meet Rufus!

He's an adorable little goofball

I can get a trailer and can take care of the fuel pressure problem. If pressure is really low, then pump and or fuel pressure regulator. Or there is trash in the lines/filter. my 91 would barely run sometimes, and found that fuel pump would sometimes just start quitting for few minutes, especially at idle.

The last week or so, she's been doing pretty good. Just gotta limp her along a bit longer.

I feel your pain on limping it along, I've had my injectors and a ton of other parts waiting impatiently to go in for a month or two now.

I think maybe the fuel pump and FPR problems aren't as bad when it's warmer. Seems like that with my Burb anyway. If it sits overnight, or for several hours ( like a long work visit) it wants to be primed a little before it fires up. Sitting less than 4 or 5 hours, fires up quickly as usual. Probably needs a new fuel filter and FPR, after 195,000.......just hope the pump lasts. Not looking forward to dropping the tank!
