Engine Mechanical problem
1997 Chevy Suburban V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic 123,00 miles
The car was running fine. Turned it off for 5 minutes. Tried to start it, it would turn over but not ignite. A guy stopped by to help and he said turn it over and while I did he banged the gas tank with his fist, it work, the thing started. He said the fuel pump is going, got an estimate for $400 to replace it. I've stopped and started it a dozen times since and it hasn't occurred again. Does replacing the fuel pump sound right to you or is there something else to check before committing to replacing it? |

It's the fuel pump.. anytime you can bang the tank and it starts up you know to replace the pump. The pump starts to fail and giving it a jolt of vibration sometimes will kick it back in for awhile. |
