Over the last couple of months there have been periods where my 97 blazer would fail to start and finally I got to doing some troubleshooting after reading several threads in the forum.

This time the truck did not start after not being driven for a week.

I charged the battery and hooked up a fuel pressure gauge.
The car started right away however the fuel gauge was at 54

All signs point to fuel pump replacement however I wanted to see if anyone has anyone experienced these type of symptoms.

54 at idle is ok. ,if it primes to 54 before starting pumps bad.

 

Thanks
I should have stated that it does prime to 54.
I will go ahead and get a pump fitted.

 

make sure its oem. Im not saying this because im a oem freak,but these eat cheap pumps for breakfast. i learned my lesson the hard way.

 

cheers
I read through some forums and priced an oem pump at rockauto.
Can i assume this is where most of the members go for oem purchases.?
