The problem I have is that 1. my fuel gauge does not read how much fuel is in the tank and 2. the information center does not tell me how many miles i have left in the tank and 3. my check engine light is on. I had my step-father who is a certified mechanic but not for GM check the code and it said something about the fuel pressure. I believe that the fuel pressure sensor is out. He told me to fix the fuel gauge I need to replace the fuel pump which is $300-$500 depending. Well I believe that all I have to replace is the fuel level sensor and the fuel pressure sensor. Is my thinking correct or do I have to replace the fuel pump? Thanks for any help you can give me.

I have a 1997 Chevy Truck with a 5.7 L engine and it is leaking fuel. It appears to be leaking from around the fuel pressure regulator. Could you tell me how to replace it myself?

what could make my 98 s-10 go through 5 fuel pumps in 3 years

On an 02 Pontiac Grand Am I seem to have all of the symptoms of a failing fuel pump, but when the car sits for a period of time and cools off, i will turn the key and i can hear the fuel pump operating just fine. Other times if i turn the car off and right back on after driving, the pump will not make any noise at all. Most time the power will surge allowing only low speeds. It will sometimes die while driving if too much gas is applied but always starts right back up. This problem happened gradually and I recently replaced the fuel filter and it was fine city driving only for a few days. Could the fuel pump still be going bad and just losing pressure? Can I be sure this is even a problem with the pump?
