Still seeking answers on this with my 03 Tahoe with the 5.3 engine. I noticed at about 1/4 a tank if it’s sitting all day/nignt you go to start it and it takes a little longer for it to fire up. There’s been times the gas light was on and I was parked at an include downhill and it would not start and I had to put it neutral and let it roll to a flat surface for it to start. I’ve noticed now when it’s down to 1/4th a tank on level surface after sitting all night it does the same thing.
I do believe if I turned the key to the on position and let the fuel pump run for a few seconds before starting, it will fire up. The fuel pressure was below specs that I outlined in a previous post. I’ve already placed the fuel pump with an OEM. Still trying to figure out what’s causing this. Perhaps fuel filter or fuel pressure regulator?
Below is a link to a video of what it’s doing.
