brdhntr Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 so, it started spitting and sputtering all of a sudden yesterday. i went and put some fresh gas in this morning. still spitting and sputtering. this afternoon, it wouldn't start. that where it is now. cranks over fine, but no gas. looking in the tbi, there is no gas coming out so it is not getting gas. so, i'll take a look at it tomorrow but i wanted to get the bets in on what it's gonna be. who's got fuel pump? fuel filter? fuel pump relay? electronics? lets get the bets in! :shake: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brdhntr Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 so it looks like nobody bet on anything besides the fuel pump. since i ordered one, it's pretty obvious that that's what i think as well. i did think i'd get a few bets on some other things though. i guess great minds think alike. :clapping: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpdocdave Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 at the shop here, we won't put anything but delco pumps in gm. we've had tons and tons of problems with any other pumps. and a fuel pump assembly at that price scares the crap out of me :hmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 And, unlike a Cherokee or Comanche, with a Suburban you actually have to drop the tank to replace the fuel pump. Or so I have been told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
