      But camera's don't talk back normally, and they're a bit less judgy too. As far as I know a camera won't stop recording if you don't torque a bolt to factory specs, or possibly say something that is politically sensitive to a small number of viewers.

    Thanks for teaching me 2 things in this video! About the o2 sensor should peg to about 1000mv during wot and that being that it went to 0 it was a fuel delivery problem. And the other thing was about an amp per 10psi for the fuel pump. You are one of the reasons why i continute to learn in this career. I may be 100% trained by GM but i still have a lot to learn!

    • @SouthMainAuto
      @SouthMainAuto  2 роки тому +15

      So it is a sometimes but not always case. It is more like 0.8amps per 10psi (most of the time) and MOST vehicles go into power enrichment mode at WOT some stay switch the O2's but none that I know of drop to 0v's

      @@grannyflatgarage7599 WOT means the throttle plate is also fully open, there is very little to no engine vacuum during this. Engine vacuum is created by the intake stroke trying to pull air past a restriction (the throttle plate). Diesels don't have a throttle plate, hence no vacuum from them, same idea.

    Aaaaaah.... The infamous GM fuel pump. Had one go out on my 2002 Chevy Blazer (4.3) about 150 miles from home. One moment it was working, the next it wasn't. Crank, crank, crank, but no starty. Had the vehicle towed home (to the Chevy dealership). Where it proceeded to start and run for the next three days. Just as they were fixin' to call and have me pick it up, it wouldn't start. My son's 2002 Silveraldo (also 4.3), did the same thing a few months later. Gotta love that timed obsolescence!

  • @fascistpedant758
    @fascistpedant758 2 роки тому +11

    I think Paul Danner would suggest that you look at inrush current upon starting the pump. A low spike would indicate high resistance before the pump, a normal spike would indicate a good power feed to the pump.

  • @TheOmegaman69
    @TheOmegaman69 2 роки тому +5

    Good video. I wonder why you did not look closer at the fuel pump current capture. If you lower the voltage and zoom into the waveform, maybe capture with a faster setting (I am sure you know all this and have done it many times) you could see if one or more commutators are bad or not. This, I think, would provide a definitive answer as to if the fuel pump is bad, IF the scope capture did show one or more bad/missing commutators. Maybe part of the reason why you didn't might be you would have to pull the Picoscope out to see it well enough, which takes more time. Understandable. What you have done does already show it is most likely the fuel pump if it is getting power and ground, and it is pretty definitive as well. Just something I wondered about. Anyway....
    Thanks for making these videos. Especially lately, you have been making a considerable number of videos and they, are each and every one of them, are truly appreciated.

    • @SouthMainAuto
      @SouthMainAuto  2 роки тому +5

      All good advice :) Thing is, looking at it like we did with 1 second across the screen we would have easily seen a "missing" section on the commutator as the amperage would have had a drop right to zero then right back up. It would have been very "narrow" but all the same it would have been captured pretty easy. I was just looking more for overall current than I was a "bad motor" if that makes sense?

    I just did this with my 99 Yukon, lean codes, drivability problems and then no start, no hear the fuel pump turn on. But the real indication is he just filled the tank like my daughter did, thirty gallons of gas, siphon it out the old fashioned way. Of course I don't have a lift so get out the jack stands and do it the hard way. Ah well, a new pump is $250 for OEM and a day's labor and I saved myself $750 in labor.

    I used to do a lot of fuel pumps with full tanks. I used to use a lift and a transmission jack under the tank. Funny thing is the companies I worked for never ever had any of us pull a transmission, but those had really expensive ($1,400 to $2,000) high transmission jacks for use with vehicle lifts. The only full tanks that were hard were the 40 gal strange conformal designed tanks, which were really long for pick-up trucks or cargo vans.

      There is nothing wrong with QUALITY aftermarket fuel pumps. The thing is those you find on fleabay and amazon are rarely Quality. If the part is 1/6th the cost of the part straight from the OEM (Not talking from GM price) then there is a reason it is 1/6th the price, they cut corners on a lot of stuff and materials.

    One of our hotshot drivers pulled into the wrong repair shop. They soaked him with a bunch of junk yard parts: Alternator, distributor, fuel pump, carburetor, filters.... Truck would barely run. I suspect they were on a three day drunk. Fired him.

    Eric, I had a similar situation with Dodge B350 Maxivans and the 360 TBI V-8. Everything checked fine but the engine would lay down when you hit 3rd gear it just wouldn’t pull. I ended up running a FP gauge under the engine cover and watching the pressure as I drove and sure enough first gear it was fine, second you could see the needle waver and at the top going into third it would start to drop down and that coincided with the laying over of the engine. A new fuel pump fixed the issue. And although it had the extended range fuel tank 30+ gallons, they were always kept full so the elec motors weren’t overheating.

    Hey Eric, where do you get those cartoon pictures you use for the title graphic? Does someone draw them for you or is there a website you get them from? They are always great!

    I had an envoy that after idling for a few minutes, it would shut off like you turned the key off, almost like it was on a idle timer. It would start right back up and always ran great otherwise. BTW, there is a fuel pressure port underneath by the filter.

      this one didn't have a filter ;) and I believe the port you are thinking of is for the EVAP isn't it? I could be wrong though.

      @@SouthMainAuto My 2005 long wheel base had a filter along the inside of the left frame rail with a port right before the filter. Maybe different n the shorties. Who knows...lol
