Sign In A secratary at the company i work for ran her 02 escalade out of gas. I agreed to come help get it running. I tried running the air out of the lines and am getting no pressure coming out of the injector rails. Someone told her that she may have burned up her fuel pump. Can anybody give me some advise? She needs her car for thanksgiving! Guest Anonymous Poster Nov 20, 2006, 5:57 PM Post #2 of 3 (1681 views) Re: ran out of gas in an escalade!

Sign In Fuel injected vehicles don't like running out of fuel. If you prime it and it may take a couple tries it will purge the air out and run. You should hear the buzz from the fuel pump with ignition on and the fuel pump should shut off when pressure is achieved. The pump has no brain and doesn't know what it is pumping, air water or fuel, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
