so here's the deal, i just changed my fuel filter, everything is back the way it should be, but i don't hear the line presurizing and the car won't start. what the hell do i do next? i'm 100% positive that everything is back the way it was.

 

Did you pull the fuel pump fuse? If so did you put it back?

edit: I mean the fuel pump relay.

 

yea, i got it. it just took a little longer than i was expecting. thanks for the help. i had to leave it in the "on" position for a lot longer than 10 seconds like it said in the how to.

 

Ah, well thats good. I will probably change mine soon. I am going to do a much of service work around 30k. New NGK plugs, coolant changes, fuel filter, bleed the brakes, all that good stuff. I think that should be all it would need.

 

Sorry about that. When I changed mine 10 seconds was plenty, but not every car is the same I suppose.

 

no biggie, it was a piece of cake, especially considering i have never done this before. but when it didn't start, i double checked the how to, it said 10 seconds, and it had already been like 2 monutes, i got a lil nervous. i also threw a code for a bad fuel pump sensor, probably from trying to start the car with no gas running deleted the code and all is good to go!

thanks for the how to.

 

nice finally got a pic of the new car

 

yea! it's been so crappy here lately i haven't had a chance to get any good ones. spent a few hours cleaning it last friday, by saturday it was disgusting again.

 

Yeah man you needed to let the lines get primed with fuel again, damn you got on here quick after you problem, did you have your computer under the car with you **** when something goes wrong working on my car I will kick and scream for a few hours before I starting thinking of opening a book or site. Must be my know it all attitude. I'm a certified GM tech **** should never go wrong with my car. Damn I can dream can't I.

 

well see the problem was i was already almost late for work, so i didn't have time to dick around. otherwise i probably would have done the same.

 

hahaha... you guys are a riot... when I have something go wrong first thing I do is post back on here.... then I go back to kicking and screaming.

Nice to see you got the replacement sig up Dust... and chopped it a little more from what it was a couple days ago

 

Anybody know at what mileage I am supposed to change my Fuel Filter?

Later

 

I'm pretty sure 25K-30K is the consensus around here...

 

it can actually be changed earlier than that... I saw a filter pulled out of a SS/SC at 25,000 and it was absolutely clogged with crap.

I plan on changing mine @ 15,000.

 

Thank boyz
