New fuel pump, no sound - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cfan10 · 04-22-2019, 07:16 PM

OK, I installed a new fuel pump yesterday cleaned all the gas lines, new fuel filter. Tank is in good condition but the old fuel pump dropped rust particles from the clamps. I'll maybe one day drop the tank and clean it, probably not since I cut a access to the fuel pump.
The new fuel pump doesn't prime and truck wouldn't start, checked battery with jumper it shows red, damn Walmart batteries! I thought even if the battery is really low wouldn't cause the fuel pump not to prime, the truck almost started a few times but I heard nothing.

Info:
91 suburban 5.7 tbi/700r4

As always many thanks in advance for the advice, it is greatly appreciated!

get full voltage and check for a good clean ground

check for good ground from sender end to frame .

check for power to pump sender plug .

single red wire on relay at firewall for fuel pump is for testing relay . send 12v pos down it and check for pump run and voltage . if works then the relay is possible d.o.a or other problems .
