Not getting fuel, fuel pump isn't working (cobalt ss)
Asked by kevinmim2 Oct 19, 2016 at 09:38 PM about the 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt SS Sedan FWD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
So I've got an 06 cobalt ss supercharged. Here
recently it died on my going down the road and
was only starting, run for two seconds, and that's
it. NOW the fuel pump is not even working. I even
put a brand new one in. It has power (as tested)
and all of the fuses are where they are supposed to
be and all good. When I turn the key on the fuel
pump will not work. Any ideas?

Check the fuel pump relay. Swap it with one that is the same. Sometimes they stick or have a poor connection.
Ive done that with a few different ones already and still nothing. And I don't think it's in security mode because the light isn't on...

I have encountered these electrical issues many times with at least 7 different Cobalts in the past 4 years and always seems to be related to faulty wiring. I want to help my next door neighbor so maybe I can provide some answers soon. Right now I am going to make sure the TCM is grounded properly and that the neutral safety switch is working and or grounded. Tony

Check the 50amp fusible link from positive terminal on the battery if that's bad will Cut fuel pump power along with other things

Has anyone solved this. Car died, fuel pump replace, solenoid and fuse are good. Car will turn over, but getting no fuel pressure, pump not running on key on or start. I did put code reader on, it shows RPM during cranking. So, I presume cranks and cam sensors are good. My next plan is to jump the relay and see if the pump starts. So I can diagnose if it is in the wiring to the back or in the signals that would trigger the solenoid.
Ram tough did you ever get it figured out I'm have the exact same issue with my 06 ss
Ive had the same problems with my 09 ls, was stuck at a McDonald's half in the parking lot so had to do something quick. I had just put in about a half a tank of gas but the fuel gauge said I was empty. not sure exactly which one it was but I checked all wiring plugs under the rear by the fuel filter, nothing. Then did the same under the hood with anything that was related to ignition or fuel. Turned the key, guage said I had fuel, started right up. If anyone can figure out exactly what this issue is, please shoot me an email. Jakerz.phillips@gmail.com Thanks. Good luck everyone.
Has anyone figured this out at all lol I have a chevy 2008 an it doesnt wanna turn over even with new pump an relay on it would greatly appreciate it been without a car for a month now
