I have a 2007 TAHOE and I never had any problems until Sunday. after Driving from San Antonio to Houston Tx I stopped for about two hour and when I tried to start it again is when the problem started.

When I turn the key to start the engine it won't come on until I turn the key On-OFF-On . when I turn the key on the engine turns but it wont start like there is no gas then I turn it off and back on then the engine starts. Friends tell that is the Fuel Pressure Regulator, other tell that it is the Fuel Filter but they also tell me that the new tahoes dont have Fuel regulator nor Filter.

Does anybody have any idea what can it be? What is the warranty on the fuel pump? PLEASE HELP

Your fuel system is covered by the 5 year 100,000 powertrain warranty, under normal circumstances. As to what could be the issue you would have to have a dealership diagnose the issue for you and with your coverage it should be at no cost to you. I hope this helps you. If you continue to have issues you can direct message me.

Jeff,
I was reading and I found out that the in tank fuel pump is part of the exclusions of the warranty. See Below

<DT>Engine: 2010 Chevrolet vehicles</DT><DD>All internally lubricated parts, engine oil cooling hoses, lines and radiators. Also included are all actuators and electrical components internal to the engine (i.e., Active Fuel Management Valve Lifter Oil Manifold, etc.), cylinder head, block, timing gears, timing chain, timing cover, oil pump/oil pump housing, OHC carriers, valve covers, oil pan, seals, gaskets, manifolds, flywheel, water pump, harmonic balancer, engine mount, starter motor, turbocharger and supercharger. Timing belts are covered until the first scheduled maintenance interval. Exclusions: Excluded from the powertrain coverage are sensors, wiring, connectors, engine radiator, coolant hoses, coolant and heater core. Coverage on the engine cooling system begins at the inlet to the water pump and ends with the thermostat housing and/or outlet that attaches to the return hose. Also excluded are the entire pressurized fuel system (in-tank fuel pump, pressure lines, fuel rail(s), regulator, injectors and return line) as well as the Engine/Powertrain Control Module and/or module programming.</DD>
What do you think??

Solerano,

I have the exact issue on my 05. Starts on the second try every time.

I have found that it's the fuel pressure regulator which is built into the fuel pump assembly. The pump, the regulator, and the filter are all housed in one assembly.

The best price I have found on it is as www.rockauto.com, and my vehicle is obviously out of warranty. I have yet to take on the repair, as the vehicle is relatively new to me. I actually just joined up on the site to start looking into it here, and voila it's a similar issue to a page 1 thread. LOL.

Good luck with your repair.

I apologize but the resources that I have show this information:

Engine Coverage Includes: All internally lubricated parts, the entire pressurized fuel system (in-tank fuel pump, pressure lines, fuel rail(s), regulator, injectors and return line). Also included are all actuators and electrical components internal to the engine (i.e.: Active Fuel Management Valve Lifter Oil Manifold, etc.) as well as the Engine/Powertrain Control Module, module programming, cylinder head, block, timing gears, timing chain, timing cover, oil pump/oil pump housing, OHC carriers, valve covers, oil pan, seals, gaskets, manifolds, flywheel, water pump, harmonic balancer, engine mount, starter motor, turbocharger and supercharger. Timing belts are covered until the first scheduled maintenance interval.

Exclusions: Excluded from the powertrain coverage are sensors, wiring, connectors, engine radiator, coolant hoses, fans, coolant and heater core. Coverage on the engine cooling system begins at the inlet to the water pump and ends with the thermostat housing and/or outlet that attaches to the return hose.

This is what I show in my resources. What you have found is from a document that cannot confirmed for authenticity. I hope this helps you.
