1997 Chevy Blazer Won't start

[ezh10111]

I replaced the fuel pump with a new one and the truck turned on but their is gas leaking from where the hoses hook up to the injectors and it is taking in air and i also have gas coming form some of the hoses that go to the fuel pump.

Fix them gas leaks before you have to call 911.

And recheck that fuel pressure.
Post back readings .

The lines to the fuel pump are not leaking anymore and as for the lines to the injectors their is a metal plate that was not put right i fix it and know thier is not one leak. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO HELPED ME ON THIS I APRICIATE IT. THANK YOU

You are welcome.
Is it starting and running good now?
Have you rechecked the fuel pressure?

ok im back I took the truck in to pull some codes and it said i had a vaccum leak so i go home to check for some leaks but the only thing I could find was the fuel hoses still sucking in air they are not leaking but they are taking in air do you have any idea how to fix that.

I did not know there was a code for vacumn leak.
What was the code no.

Fuel hoses do not suck in air.
The only place you can get air there is it is out of fuel and pumping air.

What are the fuel pressure readings?

I'm curious how a pressurized fuel system can suck in air myself.

[ezh10111]

its not actualy the hoses, is the gap between the hoses and the spyder that is taking in air it suppose to take in fuel but i guess since their is a gap it is taking in air.It is tighten down the most it can be but it still does it does anyone have any idea how to fix this.

How are you finding air in system.
Even if system had air in it it will flush out when fuel pump primes up pressure.

Tell us what code no you got.
Give us your fuel pressure readings.

Ok when I spray carb cleaner on that spot it takes it in, and I can hear the part taking in air.

I think he's trying to describe a vacuum leak in between the CPI and the intake plenum. There is an o-ring that surrounds the CPI and seals it against the plenum. I would bet that the CPI has shifted, dropped, or was moved enough for the seal to be jeopardized. It takes about 45 minutes to pull the plenum to replace that seal and the gasket. Figure about 1 1/2 to 2 hours total.

[ezh10111]

Yes that is it it must have been intalled wrong when we switched the regulator I guess I will have to take it all apart again.

Does anyone know how to reaplace shift solenoid

[Airjer_]

Column or floor shift? If its floor shift the wires break in the center council under the shift handle all the time.

Did you get your first problem fixed?


Why are you now wanting to the change shift solenoid.
