In your case buddy

Thank you sir very good video you spoke nice and clear so I could understand you thank you

I had a Chevy truck come in with those codes, smoked it, found no vacuum leaks, checked fuel pressure and sure enough was dropping to under 30 pounds, installed a new Delphi pump, ran better, customer took it, it came back about 2 weeks later with same codes, but this time the brake pedal felt weird, harder! Turns out the booster was on it's way out too from the master cylinder leaking brake fluid into it! When I smoked the engine I disconnected the vacuum hose at the booster to introduce the smoke into the intake through there, so was NOT able to see at that time that the booster did have a vacuum leak, it obviously wasn't as bad at the time cause the pedal wasn't hard, but in the two weeks it blew out I guess. After replacing both booster and master cylinder the truck left, hasn't been back in several weeks now, so definitely check the booster for vacuum leaks as well so you don't go through what I went through 🙄

Perfect thanks brother mine is running fine now and we passed emissions yes 😀😀😀

After cleaning the MAF sensor, would you say the next smart step before smoke testing for vacuum leaks would be to put a pressure gauge to check for fuel pressure?

good stuff...thanx...exact issue on my 02 tahoe

Thanks for sharing, I made my diagnosis same of this problem, & the result is fuel pump not working well

I had this same problem ysdy on a Yukon,, i don't really work on GM products, but the LT fuel trim numbers were around 19%percent with extensive crank time, it took me about an hr to find,, easy compared to the European bolt boxes

Good work Sir

I just got P0101, P0171, and P0174 on my truck today. Seems to drive fine with no idle issues. I have a spare MAF sensor I will try tomorrow and will also check for loose air intake issues. I also have a pressure gauge I can check with. Like the customer in question, I also have to get my emissions tested. Any other suggestions to check for?

Very good videos

I'm trying to narrow down my issue. I'm getting the p0171, p0430,p0332,and p2a01 on a 06 GMC 5.3l and my truck has long tube headers and no cats so idk wtf is going on. Recently had my air filter let some unfiltered air by it,have since replaced the air filter. Im going to check my fuel pressure. I'd appreciate any input. Thanks for the great video

I replaced my pump it drove great that evening ever since a mechanic tuned my tahoe it stalls when taking off, also my pressure when running is 60 and bouncing a Lil bit.. now when I drive it flexes bad but stays at 69 just flexes really bad I also do have knock sensor codes too

+Frank Castle Check for air leaks in intake gaskets usually the center area on both sides. The easiest way is with a scanner looking at the short-term fuel trim spray carburetor or brake cleaner through a straw at the center of the intake manifold with the engine running and look and see if the fuel trim changes. If it's truly running lean the short-term fuel trim is going to be reading positive numbers probably up in the 15 area. It should actually be showing positive to negative 3 back and forth. If you have access to a smoke machine those are actually the best at finding all the leaks

I just bought a 2003 Tahoe Flex Fuel 5.3L and I first tested fuel pressure after P0174 and P0171 had pulled and it was down around 20 psi. I changed the fuel filter and now it is reading about 40 psi but my freeze frame fuel trim %'s are way higher than before I replaced the fuel filter. my freeze frame data is showing Calc load is 17.6% and the temp at 192.2 @ 1839 RPM and 13 MPH and both bank 1 and bank 2 readings are exactly the same and pretty excessive in my opinion. The STFT for both banks is reading 39.8% and LTFT for both banks is reading 25%... Since it is showing these conditions under load and not at idle i am assuming it is still a fuel pressure issue... So should I start with replacing the fuel pump or what should my course of action be? Thanks

thnks man..im running the same code but i dnt have a hard start, but my codes do come back really fast after resetting them. im having the manifold gasket change because tht gives the same code with a blown gasket. my truck runs fine other the idle at cold starts. whn my mechanic finds the prob i will let u know

I have a 2004 do I g same thing as your truck hard to start at time I put the fuel gage on it I had 55psi and at idle 62 I should of tested the fuel pressure wen it was hard to start see what it was then my fuel trims are high as well I smoke it no leaks any were

Hello I have the inline 6cly engine and I'm getting that lean bank one it has good power its a 06 Chevy trail blazer I bought a smoke machaine but have not smoke the intake yet any ideals

What if truck is cranking, but not starting at this point ? This started a couple of months back where it wouldn't rev in gear, but it would idle and rev out of gear....later it guilt on the road I had it towed to home....need some help here.

Hey run I’m experiencing this same problem but I’m also experiencing my 2006 Silverado engine shuts off when I turn on the ac or heater you think is because is to much overload

Thats my issue I think! I thought it was a TPS or IAC, so I replaced both. Still running goofy Idle. Took it to Chevy dealer. They said bad intake Manifold gasket. Hat that done. Still doing it, they said fuel pressure was reading what the 5.3 should be not 6.0 also gave codes p0171 and p0174 and said the fuel trim was all over the place on the computer.

99 Sierra 1500 5.3 Getting both of these codes. Already replaced FPR and fuel filter. Replaced one fuel injector. Changed all these parts because it was misfiring. When I changed all those parts I checked fuel pressure. It was lower than 55. I don't remember what it was, but for sure lower than 55. Has a hard time with cold starts. Not like in your video, but it's noticeable. Fuel pump it is?

@SandCarServices

7 жыл бұрын

You need fuel pressure above 50/55 psi. Hard starts are often caused by the fuel pressure check valve which is located inside the tank on the fuel pump assembly. it can only be replaced by servicing the entire fuel pump assembly in most cases. It bleeds off inside the fuel tank where you cant see it. Also, if your fuel pump is running and fuel pressure is low then remove fuel pump and check the hose between the fuel pump and the steel line inside the fuel tank. I have seen these come loose/hole or loose clamps.

Do you know What the recommended fuel pressure is for a 1998 GMC K1500 SL/SLE ( V8 ) 305 5.0 liter auto 4WD when the engine is off with key on and with the engine running ? all details would be appreciated thanks :-) Also what fuel pump would you recommend ?

+ryacline89 the gauge is probably bad. A scanner that can perform a gauge sweep will tell you for sure. The p0174 is the computer telling you there is a lean condition on bank 2. (Drivers side) if a smoke test on the intake manifold shows negative results then I would check the fuel injectors on the driver side cylinder head. It's very difficult to give advice without seeing a vehicle

I changed the fuel filter it drove lovely, next day got on the fwy it cut off. now I changed the MAF sensor, then it wouldn't start at all. later that night it start right up.

+corey green there is a rubber hose that goes from the top of the fuel pump to the bottom side of the fuel pump assembly at the top of the tank. It is inside the fuel tank. That's usually the most common problem that I see when there's low fuel pressure. There are occurrences where the fuel pressure regulator if it has one on the fuel rail goes bad but mainly it's the fuel pump. The only way you're going to know is if you take the tank down and pull the assembly out and look at the rubber hose and see if it has a split in the side

My 04 Yukon SLT has same exact codes Idles good, runs good unless you mash on fuel hard n starts to spit n sputter. Only does it occasionally, does it worse when hot. Doesn’t want to pull steep grades, and barely able to run at 40mph little alone above it. Have to barley lay foot on fuel pedal and if it hesitates ease off a little and it goes on. Runs 53 lbs of pressure at idle, 50 lbs at 3000 rpms, 45lbs 4500 rpms, from 5000 and above it falls off to 20lbs psi, engine starts sputtering, but doesn’t die. Just put a new acdelco fuel pump in, in July it’s under warranty, but don’t want to drop tank and replace if it isn’t my problem, any ideals? This one has me stumped New mass air flow sensor, also. It starts great. But out on the road is dangerous.

Your going to need a good scanner that can read freeze frame data for that one most likely unless you just start throwing parts at it. I would start with checking fuel pressure while driving, if you get a p0171 code only without the p0174 code at same time most likely bank 1 sensor 1 is weak, since both heads share same intake manifold air. The shifting hard and reving could be transmission ,solenoid, or ecm, that one is a little difficult to help with here. Too bad i couldn't see it in person.

Hi great video, I have a question I have a 2001 Chevy Suburban k1500 5.3L as I was driving from a long trip on the freeway all of a sudden I started losing power & felt like it was going to shut off, I pulled over the engine idled fine, I turned it off for a few minutes & it starred right up. I drove it home then hooked up my obd2 scanner & got p0171 & p0174 codes, then after a while the check engine light came on. I put in a new fuel filter a few months before any of these symtoms started happening just as maintenance since it had never been changed, It starts up within seconds even when the engine is cold can it still possibly be the fuel pump? I cleaned the maf sensor reconditioned the K&N FIPK filter & reoiled it with K&N oil, checked for exhaust leaks, put water around the intake manifolds, but didn't find or hear anything out of the ordinary. Thanks in advance if you're able to answer my question.

Its interesting you don't have a p0174 code? That means there is probably a vacuum leak on the drivers side of the engine only, or a possible bad o2 sensor! The p0102 is a mass air flow code, If the mass air flow was not an AC Delco or Delphi unit it may still be the reason for the code. Only performing pin tests will tell without replacing with a "known good part". The p0420 is a bad catalytic converter. I almost never get a 420 code to go away without changing the Cat unless its setting because of a defective downstream o2 sensor. I only install DELPHI fuel pumps. I had way to many warranties with aftermarkets.

+Ron Williams what about on the 2005 chevy trailblazer 4.2 vortec ive replaced the fuel pump around a year ago so the pump is still considered new i threw p0171 bank 1 code too lean

I'm getting these codes and a po300 also I have a small amount of black smoke coming out the tailpipe. Truck starts fine, what could be my issue?

I recommend having a smoke test done on intake manifold. The 5.3's are known for the rubber seals on the intake manifold gaskets leaking. If you don't have access to a smoke machine hook up a scanner that can read PID list. (what the sensors are reading) and look at short term fuel trim (STFTRM) If you are truly running lean It should read above 15. If it reads -5 to -20 its not running lean. while watching the short term fuel trim take a can of brake cleaner with a straw and spray the base of the intake manifold on both sides and watch the PID. If the gasket is leaking the readings will switch to a number with a - symbol in front of it. (be careful with brake cleaner, if you have a leaking spark plug wire and you spray it with a flammable substance there is a chance of it lighting the brake cleaner spray on fire.) Safety first. The black smoke almost sounds more like a leaking fuel injector tip. That test is a little to difficult to explain But lets start there.

ok, whats fuel pressure at? +20 means the computer is adding 20% more fuel than required normally. Which means its running lean.

What about the 8.1s lol

Got a 01 Yukon p0174.p0171 replaced maf,fuel pump,both upstream sensors,New gaskets,fuel regulator lol it also hesitates it jerks 221k miles while driving and sometimes on start up ...any other ideas ???...thanks ron
