Re: 2000 5.7l Express won't start

GGMurray,

Must be the year of the vehicle b/c I too have this problem (throughout the year) and just had an episode of my 2000 G1500 5.7v8 not starting.

Replaced the fuel filter in Nov., (PCV too). Traced out all the fuel pump, fuel supply relays, etc. The only thing that I can come up with is that the fuel pressure regulator (FPR)needs to be replaced. Tank is full of gas, the pump comes on, etc. The only thing I have not ruled out is the fuel pump pressure.

If it is the FPR, according to my Haynes manual, in order to replace the FPR, you have to take the intake system apart to gain access to it. THAT really sucks!!!!

Anyone else have any ideas???

Best of luck w/ your problem!!!
