Just replaced a leaky gas tank, put in new gas lines and fuel pump. As I was driving home from the shop, the truck was acting like it was starved for gas-engine vibrating, no power?

Asked by Daniel Sep 17, 2016 at 08:27 AM about the 1994 GMC Sonoma 2 Dr SL Standard Cab LB

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Took forever to get up to highway speed, but once at speed and foot off gas, smoothed right out. Could new fuel pump be bad? Does new gas line need to be bled like brake line?

Sounds like low fuel pressure. Make sure if you put in new lines you didn't kink one. Test your fuel pressure, and no lines don't need to be bled. Check the fuel pressure regulator, if stuck open low pressure.

Check and clean idle air control valve.Also test throttle position sensor. These two components can cause problems similar to yours

I installed a fuel pump on my 2002 GMC Sonome engine 4 cyl. It started righd not startet up. But, after driven 2 miles, stalled out and died. Since then I could start only after taking out pump out of tank and reinstalled. Oil pressure is more than 40 PSI. I can not find any voltage from terminal.. I put a hotwire (jumper) from 87 terminal to 30 Terminal in fuel pump relay terminal, still no juice. I put a wire from batter to straight to pump . The new pump made noise . Still could not start. In this morning I put a jumper from 87 terminal to pump. I managed the engine running. I could start without jumper about 5 times. While the engine running, I decided to take my truck to road test. Whiel the engine running, I was gathering some tools and equipment for in case of broke down, the engine shut off. Why does my truck do this? I need help, please. 3 Answers
