  How to diagnose Fuel Pump on 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer?

  Posted by Elbert D.

  A:

  If your vehicle has insufficient fuel delivery, check all fuel lines for leaks and ensure there is enough fuel in the tank. If power is present and the ground circuit is good but the pump still doesn't operate, replace the fuel pump. For the pressure check, relieve the fuel pressure and attach a fuel pressure gauge to the test port. Turn the ignition key on and note the pressure reading. If the pressure is lower than specified, check the fuel pressure regulator and fuel lines for restrictions. If the pressure is higher than specified, check the fuel return line for restrictions. If the pressure is within specifications, start the engine and check the fuel pressure with the engine running. If the pressure doesn't decrease with a vacuum applied to the fuel pressure regulator, replace the regulator. Finally, monitor the fuel pressure for five minutes after turning off the engine. If the pressure drops more than 5 psi, there may be a leak in the fuel line, a leaking fuel injector, or a defective pressure regulator or fuel pump module check valve. Relieve the fuel pressure before removing the gauge.
