My ‘02 suburban needed a fuel pump. Would run and start fine unless it sat. Rented a fuel pressure tester (for free) and discovered low fuel pressure and a pulsation of the actual pressure. Also noticed a bleed down of the pressure when off. Again, it was hard to start after sitting but ran fine. Replaced tank mounted fuel pump, fuel filter, and fuel pressure regulator. Dealer wanted $900 for pump replacement alone. Did all 3 myself for about $225. Don’t get a cheap pump (amazon) or you’ll be back in there very soon.
