Hi, I have a 2000 escalade, and it is having problems starting. The engine will crank but not start unless you spray the air filter with starting fluid. Today, I went to try it again and, the battery was "dead" (its only 2 wks old, and all the lights and dings worked fine, just clicked when I turned the key). We tried to jump it and after 15 minutes of being hooked up, it tried cranking again, but still wouldn't start. it sounds like the fuel pump is kicking on, but I can't be sure. I can't even get the damn thing started to take it to a mechanic! can someone please give me an idea of anything else it could be? so far, all I've gathered is that it could be the fuel pump or the fuel pump relay. I know this doesn't mean much, but the fuel pump was replaced about 2 or 3 yrs ago. thanks so much. amanda |

Hey everyone....well, I got the fuel pump changed (and the battery since cranking the engine was killing the previous one) and my escalade runs again! My check engine light is still on though...taking it to auto zone this week and see what thats about. thinking it may have thrown a code when the previous battery was weakened. anyway, if anyone is having problems with their escalade doing the same as mine (see post 190) I reccommend starting in the fuel system....

i have a 2000 escalade with the v8 vortec, when you drive for 50 + or sometimes 100+ miles the engine starts loosing power. you give it gas and it slowes down. if you keep your foot in same place it will maintain same speed let it sit for a day or so it will run fine for 100 or so miles. i have replaced cadilatic converters,fuel pump,spark plugs,wires. Please Help!!!! thanks ben |

I have a 2000 Escalade 5.7L, it is telling me that I need to change my O2 sensor. How many does the truck have?

Replying to: len8827 (Mar 11, 2009 9:14 am) It COULD be the 02 sensor but you may not want to be guessing. A mechanic can usually test these for you. here's everything you ever wanted to know about 02 sensors. Might save you some $$$. http://wps.com/LPG/o2sensor.html |
