Shop Chevrolet Caprice Fuel Pump Modules

2002 Dodge intrepid, 2.7 V6, has code PO172, PO175 left and right bank 2 rich. Where would be best place to start ?

IF is the regulator, the regulator is located in the fuel pump module. You will need to remove the fuel pump for replacement. The module is located in the gas tank.

I bought a 98 Dodge Dakota 3.9 v6 sport with 70k miles one it a few weeks ago. Drove it about 50 miles from where I bought it. Drove fine no weird noises or anything to suspect. Went home parked it drove it around town for a few days. Then one day I go to the store and come out and it doesn't start. Only after cranking it and pumping the pedel to the floor repeatedly would it start... Barely and as soon as I let off the gas it died. Finally got it started by pumping the pedal again and managed to get it I to gear with my foot still on the gas. After driving around the parking lot till it warmed up a lite could I let off the gas without it stalling. Drove it back and parked it and shut it off and tried to start it again and still wouldn't unless I pumped the pedal. Let it sit for a day or two and came out and it started just fine. Drove it down the road and went in a store and back to the same problem. Let it sit again after managing to get it home. Finally a couple days later my mechanic comes to pick it up a d it start just fine and he drove it maybe half a mile and it died. He said it wouldn't go over 30mph even with pedal all the way down and it died and would not start at all. Got it to the garage by towing it. Replaced the plugs wires and cap and ignition coil. Truck still will not start even with starting fluid. No codes come up after scanning it and no check engine light either. Fuel pump does hum when key turned and if turn the key multiple times and try to start it there seems to be a lite improvement but no start. Has apart and fuel. Tested pressure from injectors at 45psi. And somewhere during all the cranking and stuff the brake light came on and it never was before. Battery tests fine. After i discovered turning the key multiple times to engage fuel pump more and spraying with starting fluid it seemed to finally fire while i smashed the pedal for a second then dead. White smoke poured from the exhause and it smelled weird... No clue how to even describe it. Nothing ive ever smelled from a vehicle. Any help would be very appreciated

Here's what I found ............................... Engine at curb idle 339 ±34 kPa (49.2 ±5 psi)

Here's the test procedure

All fuel systems are equipped with a fuel tank module mounted, combination fuel filter/fuel pressure regulator.

1. Remove protective cap at fuel rail test port. Connect the 0-414 kPa (0-60 psi) fuel pressure gauge (from gauge set 5069) to test port pressure fitting on fuel rail.
2. Start and warm engine and note pressure gauge reading. Fuel pressure should be 339 kPa +/- 34 kPa (49.2 psi +/- 5 psi) at idle.
3. If engine runs but pressure is below 44.2 psi , check for a kinked fuel supply line somewhere between fuel rail and fuel pump module. If line is not kinked, replace fuel pump module assembly. Refer to Fuel Pump Module Removal/Installation.
4. If operating pressure is above 54.2 psi , electric fuel pump is OK, but fuel pressure regulator is defective.

My 97 Ranger four cylinder wouldn't restart after a late night gas fillup,stranding me on my way to the family Christmas event.The receptionist at the repair shop where it eventually ended up said that fuel pumps often go out after a fillup-anyone have any info on this phenomenon and why this occurs(if if does)?The repair shop said that the fuel pump module was replaced,fuel tank was dropped,etc-anyone know what this should cost on average for parts and labor?Thanks

FYI...I had a friend do mine in my 97 blazer. Parts were $270.

I haven't priced out the part but sounds in the right area. More labor to empty the tank if it was full.

Just a note: These and most electric fuel pumps don't like running low as they stay cooler with more fuel in the tank and should last longer, T

My husband installed a new fuel pump on his 1999 Chevy Silverado 1500 LS 5.3 8 cylinder truck. The installation went well, and after filling the gas tank he attempted to start the truck and nothing. He can hear the hum, but there is no pressure to the throttle body. He made sure the fuel filter was good and then unplugged the line from the fuel filter to see if there was any pressure and nothing. No pressure no nothing. So we are wondering what could be the problem. Is he supposed to somehow prime it?

Did your hubby install a fuel pump module or go the cheap route and install the fuel pump kit into the old sender assembly?

good spark, good fuel pressure sometimes it starts others it wont. when it wont start i spray carb clean or gas in throttle will run as long as i continue to spray if spray stops engine will cut off. when it does start it will run at good speed unless i punch the gas. i really have to ease the throttle. no engine codes given. im lost. need experianced advice. thank you.

Check the connector back at the fuel pump module itself.These are known for corrosion/connection problems and the replacement pumps come with a new wiring connector to repair it with.
Sound to me like a faulty pump and wiring connector.
Thats where i'd start looking
