yes i checked the shrader valve and the fuel just dribbles out but i can hear the fuel pump kick on when i turn the key.. uhg :confused:


It should spray out aggressively. Unfortunately, a pump can sound normal but fail to provide fuel in volume under pressure.

Hopefully, you have already checked/replaced your fuel filter.

TRY THE IDLE AIR CONTROL or IDLE AIR BYPASS valve. I didn't have time to read all the messages but I thought I drop a line and see if I could be the savior. I had the same problem and it turned out to the IAC/IAB. It's about $100.00. It's just opposite the throttle body.
