Fuel pump?

Post by astrogus »

My van is starting and running for like 3 seconds then sputering and shuting off. Its a 97 Astro with 154k on the orginal fuel pump, the pump is cycling but very faint. Im thinking its getting enough fuel for the intial startup then the pump isnt putting out enough to keep it running. Any ideas? Thanks guys

Check the fuel pressure at the shraider valve on the engine, you wanna see 60 psi.
