hey all, thanks in advance for reading this, my sierra just played up pretty bad, it has a 1.6mpfi in it, i was just driving down the highway when it started losing power and struggled to even keep momentum, after a few minutes of this it came good, well good enough to drive at 100kph, but it missed a few beats and was down on power, i got it to my mums where it played up again and just stalled, i left it for about 5mins and it started and idled fine again. i think this is a fuel pump, if anyone else knows more about the issue im all ears. does anyone have a spare fuel pump or be able to help me out at all? |

So what fuel tank are you using? Is your fuel filter blocked? Are you getting fuel at the rail? Return also? |

Yes as fat zook said. Disconnect the fuel in line to the injector rail and get someone to hit the ignition a few times and see if fuel comes out. You could even disconnect it after the filter providing the pump is before the filter. If no fuel comes through you have a blockage. My zook did this with the g16b. I have 2 pumps. My prepump had a micron filter before it and it was blocked up! |

hey guys thanks again for your assistance. i disconnected the fuel line after the fuel filter and before the filter, it was the same both times, but i remember last year that when i had a line disconnected that fuel shot out with some serious force, just then it came out steady, but not with the high pressure i was expecting |

Yeah the fuel should fire across the room. On the end of the fuel pump, there is a little filter bag. Its possible that this is blocked/ caked with shit. Might be worth having a look there if you thing the fuel pressure is a bit low. |

No worries. If you have access to a fuel pressure guage it will confirm your suspisions. |
