#411 of 419 help with wiring by onvol

Jan 31, 2012 (5:13 am)

The way I had to do my wiring on a new fuel pump as per a master mechanic cousin of mine: 1. Hook up black and white on pump side to black wire on truck side.
2. Hook up all matching colors left.
3. There are 2 wires left that do not match, hook those up.
 
This was used for a 1999 sierra 4.8 with replacement fuel pump from O'reilly's Auto Parts.
If this helps, feel free to say it worked for you! I hope this solves alot of your problems.

2000 GME Sierra SLE 5.3
When I put gas in, the fuel handle keeps kicking back. I have to hold the fuel handle on as soft as possible to keep it from kicking back. It takes for ever to fill up.
   Anyone know why & a fix?
 
Any help would be great.
Thanks Mike

I have the same thing going on with my truck. I notice a hissing sound in the gas tank area. I googled it and found a guy who said there was a hole in the fuel line coming up from the pump to the top of the pump assembly. The fuel is drianing back into the tank and pressure is not holding. The fuel line apparentlly rubs on the springs that hold the pump on the bottom of the tank. Now I have to find out how many electical connections my pump has so I can order the right one. All is see on the searches I've done show that unbolting the bed is easier than dropping the tank.

#415 of 419 Park light switch turns on fuel pump by hillbillybob

Jun 12, 2012 (1:54 pm)

I had no tail lights at all. I replaced brake light fuse, signal flasher. Now when I turn on my park/head lights, the stupid fuel pump runs for about 5 seconds. The truck runs fine, the front lights work fine, I have no rear park/brake lights., only signal lights.
 
Ran new ground wire at bumper in place of a rusty one. Inspected for loose cables, checked bulbs, checked fuses....Now I am lost, and need help.

I have a gmc 2500 6.0 v8 sierra, the last few times i have been a issue I cant quiet put my finger on. At ignition the truck seems to be starving for fuel after i give it a little gas it kicks right over. I'm unsure if its the fuel filter or the spark plugs or what I am looking at.

1995 Silverado - Ran out of fuel.
  1) Added more. Vehicle started ran a few seconds and died.
  2) Replaced Fuel Filter Same symptoms.
  
 When vehicle does start, I can pump the gas at it will run a little longer.
  
 I think it might be the Fuel pump relay.
  
 Any Suggestions?

#419 of 419 95 gmc sierra problems ????? by cg9629

Jun 12, 2013 (7:13 pm)

I have a 95 gmc sierra z71, it has the 5.7 350 in it. Ive been having problems trying to repair the truck, the truck starts percfectly most of the time and it will run for a while until i try to put it on Drive then it just dies, after a couple of times of doing this the truck won't start, i try pouring fuel into the carb and it will start briefly but will die soon after, while runnin i hit the gas and in squirts fuel but suddenly stops, ive replaced fuel pump, fuel filter fuel relay, ignition coil, control module, rotor, but still no solution. A couple of people have told me to replace the pick up coil but that involves removing tr distributor and ive never done that. My question is, could the pick up coil be causing this?? Or does anyone know of anything else i should check??
