Replying to: acgriff (Jul 18, 2006 12:15 am) This is an update of my 2208 message fuel problem that I had, fuel pump not working but worked great after it sat for a while or when cold. I tried a relay and it didn't work. Everybody was telling me it was a fuel pump but i didn't buy it because it started great when cold. I repaced the fuel filter and its running great, Went for a long drive, stoped it and starts no problem. I hope this works for you. Let me know, it was a $17 fix for me instead of $450.

My Venture had fuel problems after it was sucking fumes at the bottom of the tank. No doubt it picked up some crud and clogged the filter. In any event a good maintenance item for less than $20.
#9 of 35 New Fuel Pump,Filter,Relay & Presure Regulator by robtherod Oct 31, 2006 (11:06 am)
I only have 10 pounds of pressure when the ignition key is turned on and the pressure drops to zero after 3 seconds. When I changed the fuel filter I left it off the see if fuel pump was working and it is. The fuel pump was replaced 3-months ago by Pep Boys. I am having it towed back to Pep boys to replace the pump its under warranty. I just don't think this is the problem. Any Ideas?

Replying to: robtherod (Oct 31, 2006 11:06 am) I am having a similar problem with my 95 Lumina. It wont start and there is no pressure to the fuel rail. I replaced the fuel pump relay and the filter. No help. Reading the service manual I see that there are 2 relays. The fuel pump relay comes on for 2 second after you turn the key to on,then shuts off if you do not continue to start the car. If you continue to start the car the other relay, when the pressure gets to 4psi, energizes and turns the fuel pump on. This relay also activates the oil light on the dash. So if the oil pressure gets to 4pis or below the relay denergizes and shuts off the fuel pump. I think I'll have it towed to the garage.

Replying to: dsmothers (Sep 25, 2005 9:55 am) Just so everyone knows, a friend at a Chevy dealer told me that when you turn the ignition key to the ON position, the fuel pump only receives voltage for about 2 seconds. If it doesn't start, then the voltage is shut down to the pump. So don't tear your hair out if you find no voltage at the fuel pump after the initial 2 seconds!    Also, you should be able to HEAR the fuel pump run for those two seconds when you first turn on the ignition. If you don't, it is either the fuse (unlikely), the fuel pump relay (unlikely) or the pump itself. If you DO hear the pump for those two seconds, and it won't start, then there is a good chance it is the fuel pump. Just info from a friend.    My 2000 venture won't start today, and I hear no fuel pump running.. just a static sound from under the dash when I turn the key (the starter runs fine, but engine sounds like it isn't getting spark). Mine has 117,000 miles, and I never replaced the fuel filter yet, but my problem is most likely a fuel pump. You don't have to buy the whole pump asm, I am told.. just the pump goes bad. Haven't tried to find just that yet, but thought I'd reply so people will know what is up....
