You are in the Chevrolet Silverado & GMC Sierra Forum. Your Host is kcram
Here is a good one for everybody to help me with. I have a 2000 silverado that had an remote lock when I bought it. THE TRUCK HAS NEVER HAD A REMOTE STARTER. The other night I drove it to the store around 7 pm at 1 am the local police called and asked where I was going. They told me that my truck was running, Sure enough my truck was running with no keys in it and the doors were locked. When I went to shut it off it took my 4 trys of turning the key on and off before the truck stopped. DOES ANYBODY HAVE A CLUE WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS. This is the first time to my knowledge in 2 years that this has happened.

| ok today i pulled the vacuum off the fuel injecter pressure regulator and it dumped out gas. from what ive read that means it has failed so ill install a new one today and see if the problem goes away | |

| replaced fuel injector pressure regulator. engine has started just fine ever since. i still have a slight miss only at idle but i think once the computer adjusts itself this should go away. the trucks response was better on the way to work this morning | |

This is on a 03 GMC sierra 5.3L 2WD Sometimes you turn the key and everything lights up as normal but it will not crank. You can jump the starter solenoid and it will crank and start but die as soon as you remove the screwdriver. It may just be minutes or several hrs before it will start. Took it to the shop and of course it always worked fine. Any ideas? I have already had to have it towed once just to have it start up fine when it was dropped off.
