Question
I have a 1999 GMC 2500 Suburban. I don't hear the fuel pump come on when I turn on the key. If I spray starter fluid, it will start fine.I'm assuming I need to replace my fuel pump. Are there any fuses I should check first? Are there any special things I should know if I do this myself or is this a "straightforward" job? Thanks for any info. Mark
Hi Mark....sounds like a fuel pump...check the relay first, it is in fuse block under the hood...if you have power in when you turn on the key and nothing out to the pump change the relay...if good change the pump...you have to remove the tank to do so....hope this helps...happy new year

| Comment | Thanks for the prompt answer! I did put in a new relay, but that didn't help. Is there anything special I need to know about fuel tank/pump removal and replacement? | ||
