 The use of a professiona; scanner is important - we want to see ALL modules.
check fuel pressure - yes I saw you had a new fuel pump. check fuel pressure anyway.

Tell us - is vehicle STOCK? no aftermarket parts ie remote starter or added alarm?

Was that the fuel pressure when the problem was occurring?

Key on engine off the fuel pressure should be 50-60 psi.


Quote
Important: The fuel pressure may vary slightly when the fuel pump stops operating. After the fuel pump stops operating, the fuel pressure should stabilize and remain constant.

1. Verify that the fuel pressure does not decrease more than 34 kPa (5 psi) in 1 minute.

He put a airtex pump on it 1st and it didn't fix it I checked pressure then it was dropping 7 psi in 5 min they went back and put a Delphi in it and now its back to its old tricks ..it cranks fine when I first get in it then i drive it for a little bit and cut it off and go to crank again it acts up once it cranks it run fine as far as I can tell...

The fuel pressure needs to be verified while the problem is happening.

Those symptoms don't sound like fuel is bleeding back into the tank. If you have delayed starting after the vehicle had sat overnight, that would be a more likely scenario for excessive fuel drain back.

If you still have excessive fuel pressure bleed off when you shut it off, then you might consider something such as a leaking fuel injector.

Wouldn't the truck smoke real bad if the injector was leaking that is when u start it ..that just what I read somewhere I am not disputing your word I appreciate your input on this matter..

You should still make sure you have good pressure when the problem is occurring before checking for the possibility of leaking injectors. Your problem may not have anything to do with the fuel delivery system, but you have to eliminate that before heading in a different direction.

Depends on how bad it is leaking. If you still had excessive fuel pressure drain off, you could install a shut off valve in place of the fuel filter. Pressurize the system and then close your valve. Watch the pressure and see if it holds in the rail. If it does, that probably eliminates leaking injectors.

My fuel filter is built on to fuel pump assembly doesn't have one on the frame rail...could a crank sensor also cause this or a throttle pos sensor without throwing a code.

It's possible, but if the crank sensor wasn't working when it got hot, you wouldn't have spark or injector pulse.

You would need to verify cam and crank sensor signals at the PCM using a oscilloscope or graphing multimeter while cranking the engine while the problem was happening to verify signal integrity. You also might be able to watch RPM data on a scan tool data stream to see if the PCM is getting RPM information from the crank sensor.

A TPS sensor wouldn't cause something like that, unless it was showing WOT during cranking putting the PCM into clear flood mode. If it were doing something like that, which is rare, you would see that in the scan tool data stream.

you must exhaust the BASICS before replacing components...
ok vehicle is stock great
fuel pressure is 60psi thats good

what was the result of scan?
lets try a fuel pressure leak down- key on observe pressure rise- key off observe if pressure drops. post results

Re: 07chevy 2500 hd starting issue..please help Sign In

it will require testing - as mentioned FUEL leakdown is a possibility the procedure was posted-
SCANNING it is a must do with computer controls- not the same as code reading...

A thought - Important- Does this engine have AFM ?

I would guess the owner would know-
Otherwise the 8th character of the VIN# would ID the engine.
