    Hi all, needed to get my fuel pump replaced due to it being rusted out. Its been about a mouth since I had a shop replace the fuel pump. Since then I am seeing a intermittent high idie (900 rpm even when engine is warm) then other times I drive its at the standard 600 rpm. Also seeing a hiccup...

    I have a 05 TB with 150k miles on it and I have just got done repairing a bunch of stuff it needed like a tune up, evap canister and a broken IAT wire but the dang thing is still running a little rough.

    Got a smell of gas when I park and turn off. Dosen't seem to be coming from under the hood and I've got a whole new pump and sending unit installed about a year ago. At that time the top of the tank lines had a leak. Now there are no visible leaks at all. Just the smell. One thing I'll mention...

    Hi everyone! This is my first post here, so forgive me if this the wrong section. I have a somewhat bizarre issue and thought I would see if anyone has any ideas. I have a 06' LS 4wd with the 4.2. A few months back, I replaced the fuel pump as the sender unit went out, and after about a week...

    I think I read on here a thread that removing the rack up top helps fuel economy. I tried to search for it, but cant find the thread anymore Is there anything one can do to bring up the miles per gallon? Besides the typical - clean the throttle body, coast more, carry less, slow acceleration...

    Background leading up to the beginning of power loss/drop: I have been receiving the P0171 and P1074 codes that have been set on and then set off. The entire intake air section has been checked for leaks using water and Starting fluid, no signs in the change of engine RPMS. I have lived with...

    2006 Trailblazer. When I started it, it sounds like 'putt putt putt'. When I pressed on the accelerator the engine didn't rev up. All of the dash warning lights were on. I am looking for a clue as too what is wrong with it. Could it be something with the fuel pump, regulator or injectors? I...
  12. The "How-To" and DIY Section
    It made me put solved up there? Not sure if that's correct. I have a 2002 GMC Envoy with a 4.2L motor with 143K on it. I recently started to smell gas coming from the right rear side of the truck, so I assumed it was the fuel filter. Then when I would come to a stop sign it'd feel like it was...

    This started happening just last night and this morning, after a full fill-up. 18+ gallons. Before I started taking photos, at 11 miles on the Trip Odo, the gas gauge went down to pass the 1/4 mark, and then crept back up to full. Putting the transmission in Park at a red light seemed to change...

    07 Trailblazer with around 60k miles on it. Had issues starting before but now won't start at all. Thought it was fuel pump, still not starting, Replaced Fuse 41, the fuel pump relay, still not the problem. Trailblazer ONLY starts when the relay is jumped (wire from battery to the relay prongs)...

  17. OEM Issues
    Hi, I have a 05 TB LS. The problem I am having is. When the engine is shut off, the fuel gauge needle does not always return to the "E" indicator. So if lets say the gauge was reading 1/2 and turned of, the needle would stay put. And when restarted the fuel gauge would read the previous 1/2...

    I just got my fuel sending unit replaced and it is showing the right level of gas now but my DIC fuel range is still way off. I have half of a tank and it is telling me that I only have like 110 miles left. Is this right? Is there a way to reset the computer so it can give me the correct...
