07 chevy express 1500 fuel pump problem?
07 chevy express 1500 fuel pump problem? Had 1/8 of tank of gas and was on my way to gas station about 7 miles away. As soon as I left the house about every minute the warnings lights in the dash would come on and immediately go off along with the gas gauge dropping to zero. I made it to the gas station and filled the tank up. Thought I had a alternator problem. Turned around and started back to the local parts store so the could check the charging system. Got to the parts store and the van died on main street. It turns over with a little blubber of an attempt at running. Dumped 2 bottles of Lucas gas treatment in the tank and attempted to start throughout the day. NO LUCK! My neighbor and I towed it home. HELP

Did you do a fuel pressure check? Try spraying some gas or starter fluid into the throttle body to see if it runs for a few seconds. If it does the fuel pump is probably bad.

O7 chevy express 1500 fuel pump
Van started this morning and ran in the driveway for an hour. But still had the idiot lights going on an off every minute in the dash. Drove it around the block about a half mile and it died in the driveway about 5 minutes later. Did not check the fuel pressure but after it died was able to get it to fire on starting fluid until starting fluid was burned up.
