2004 Tahoe fuel issues.

[JFranks]

My wife's Tahoe has shutoff several times on her. I was driving it today when it happened. It acts like its out of fuel. The fuel pump relay was extremely hot. I swapped it with a similar one and got it cranked. 20 miles later same thing. This time it tried to idle around 100 rpm and sputtered until I cut it off. I loosened the gas cap thinking it may be a vaccum issue. Still nothing. After about 15 minutes of setting and trying it cranked. Had over half tank but decided to top it off. It's been idling and running smooth for the last 30minutes. I'll know shortly how it will handle the interstate. Anybody have any ideas on what could be the issue? Gas needle is close to accurate. Could pump be getting hot or going out? Thanks for your help!!

Sounds like you need a pump.

 

[JFranks]

That's what I was thinking, just looking for some confirmation. Thanks.

Not a bad job to do if your mechanically inclined.

I can swap it out. I'm driving it now. Since it has set and cooled for a couple of hours, it is running better. It has 270,000 on it. I believe I got the best of it!

make sure the gas tanks empty Rolfmao i shit u not ive seen a dude ub bolt those straps that hold up the tank when the tank was still almost full

I bet he won't do that again! I'm going to drive it around locally till Friday. If it last till then. I'll pump out what's left. Anybody use the Carquest pump for $240? Or should I go with the Delphi brand?

I think I may have to do mine too. So I would love to hear what brand pumps people are using.

 

[JFranks]

If you order it online at Advance auto parts you get a 20% discount making the total $200. It's a Carquest brand pump. I'll let you know how it works.
