2004 SUBURBAN RANDOMLY DIED; NEW FUEL PUMP


Recommended Posts

Started acting up two days ago.  It died on me for the first time.

 

I instantly thought fuel pump because it started back up and then died.  Then I pounded on the gas tank and it ran for a few minutes.

 

I put a new fuel pump in it that night and thought all was well.

 

Then yesterday it died again on me, but started back up.

 

Today it died on me twice within a minute and I didnt make it 1 mile from the garage.

 

I have changed the fuel pump, and swapped the fuel pump relay with another.  Beyond this IDK where to start.

 

I have a snapon scan tool and its logging right now hoping to catch something if it dies again.  Thing is it seems completely random, not related to hot or cold.

 

What can I check?

Ok.

 

This morning it died on me again at 60mph on rhe highway.  It bucked once and then just died.  I slipped it into neutral and had it restarted before I slowed down to even 50mph.

 

It's like someone shuts the key off, just bam...dead.

 

I did notice the other day when it died sitting still that the fuel pump came back on like 1 second after it died.  This is what led me to think field pump relay.  Now I'm no sure though.

 

What parameters should I monitor while driving?  If you loose a crank sensor would the truck die, or just run like crap?

 

I'm stuck here...

When the crank sensor was going on my 98 it would shut down momentarily on the highway and did throw a code for it. Upon removal you could see where it had been rubbing the crank, the new sensor came with a shim to fix that. Before that I had to have it towed in to the shop as it just died on me 1 day, After 2 days of diagnosing I found the wire to the crank sensor had grounded out on the exhaust manifold, no codes
