Re: HELP, Broke down Again !!!

I had a couple of incidents similar to yours. One was on a 90 GMC 2500 that was actually a Survey Crew truck for the Nevada DOT. It left me stranded a few times...and I would have to get a tow. One time, while waiting for tow truck, I checked the fuses in the inside fuse box, on the side of the dash. There was one blown fuse in there labeled 'ECM' if I remember correctly. I replaced it with a good one, turned on the key and I could here the fuel pump right away. I fired it up, called off the tow truck and drove back to the yard. Worked for me a few times. The second time was on my personal vehicle, a 93 Chevy Shortbed. It left me a few times... got towed home a couple times, other times I would let the truck sit for a few minutes and it would start up again. That one ended up being the fuel pump....I replaced it and the problem was solved for the rest of the time I owned it... only thing is, after I replaced the fuel pump, the gas gauge acted funky...
