i was getting ready to drive my 2000 chevy blazer today and it would turn over and not start soo i got out and banged on the gas tank while my dad turned it over and it started right up and then i got gas and drove it for about 50-60 miles and after i shut if off again it done the same thing and then i drove it for about 120 miles and after, it started right back up no problem and has been fine starting since then b-4 when it would’nt start i could’nt hear the pump come on thats what gave me the idea to hit the tank… i have replaced the pump about 60,000 miles ago with a used one could it be failing or just have water in it? i am VERY afraid to drive it i am only 16 and terrified to be stuck beside the road please help…..
well u see the thing is it seems fine now it starts right up and runs great! i am just afraid it is going to do that agin…
ok i’m sorry i just tried to start it and it is DEAD! haha

Twice now I have tried to start my 96 after it has sat outside in a rainstorm. The fuel pump works, I have a new fuel regulater. The ingnition system is fairly new. The first time the car failed to start the starter would turn fine, lots of juice from the battery. The engine would turn over but would not fire. I had the car towed to the closest Chev dealer. I had tried to start the car so much that they had to charge the battery over night. They found no error codes. Since the battery was in the end days I got a new Interstate 75 mo battery.

Good morning, Was wondering if an electric fuel pump could be put inline and either run thru the pick up pump or bypass the pick up pump? If so, and I bypass the pick up pump a water trap would have to be installed. If this cannot be done are p/u pumps rebuildable? Suggestions on replacement pumps. Dealer wants $423.00 for a new one. Thanks for any info provided.
Thanks for the answers, the pumpis not in the tank, this is a deisel and the pump is onthe the left rear side of the block, I have heard it called pickup pump, scavenger pump and transfer pump. Thought I better add these details. Once again thanks for any info.

Need to know what else it could be. or maybe if i have a faulty thermostat. btw just put in a brand new thermostat and its a pain to replace on this car. also put in a new water pump. my car still over heats and it shoots coolant out of the coolant overflow tank/over flow hose. I dont think there is anything else i need to replace. only time it over heats is when im idling for at a stop light and when i give it gas it shoots out heat in my car. but when im not giving it gas the heat doesnt work in my car and it starts to overheat as well. may have to take it to a mechanic but ive always worked on this vehicle and ive never had a problem like this even after replacing stuff.

The other day I went to the gas station and noticed I was leaking anti-freeze so I went home and add more anti-freeze. The next day I went to the station again and when I got there I checked and no leak and when I got home no leak either. I live in WI and it was below 0 for a few days, If that helps. I don’t know if it is my water pump or maybe my thermostat? Can I drive it or not? Please help me I’m a single parent with only the one car (’96 Jeep Grand Cherokee ). And is it expensive to change the water pump?
Thank you all for such a fast response you all are great!! When it leaked it was on the passanger side mainly. I hope it is a hose (loose or hole). I will see if I can find someone take a look at it. With the cold weather we had hopefully it is minor. Again Thank You All and Merry Christmas!!!

I’ve been noticing for the last few months that my cause kind of….not stutters but, when i sit at a red light, it’ll kind of rev itself just like a little bit and its really getting on my nerves. So lately, when i push the gas pedal, theres a profound whining noise coming from the engine. It almost sounds like power steering but then the noise goes away? my car is an 04 auto, has anyone else had this problem before? car has 120k on it.

Hey for the past month my car has been leaking coolant, making a wierd noise when i drive it, and saying low coolant when its filled to the top.
my husband took it out to get gas this morning and it stopped on him and had to be towed to the mechanic
the mechanic said its the water pump and somethin about anti freeze and this cost almost 300 bucks with parts and labor
im just wanting to know if a water pump does indeed cause issues like this before we dish out this kinda money!!! btw its a 96 chevy lumina
