man, fuck this. I spent an hour walking to the local auto store, bought a fuel filter, spent a while installing it, and it started up. it would not hold an idle, kept fucking dying. Then I started it, and got it 1/4 mile from my house, going to the nearby gas station to fill it up. Shit dies again. Had to push it home, being honked at by people, causing traffic, and ran over my toes.
And Danny, I cannot really hear the pump over the sound of the engine, schreeching, and the exhaust. Are you referring to the typical buzzing sound?

check if you are getting spark and fuel, if not then it's the main relay. When that goes bad it shuts off both fuel and spark. If you said that you have power going to the pump, but no power coming back that means the pump is fried. Time for a new one.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

the car ran for a 5 minutes. then it died, and wouldn't come back. And all that time, it was running TERRIBLY, it sounded like a fucking Harley.

As for the OP... check your pump. If your car worked when the guy hit the tank, you pumps little plastic "filter" thing on the pickup could have fallen off and gunk got into the pump causing it to go bad. Just happened to my convertible's pump. Super easy to pull these pumps, swapped mine out in 15 minutes."A good memory for quotes combined with a poor memory for attribution can lead to a false sense of originality."

If it idles like crap check to see if you have a vacuum leak under the throttle body. Those hoses always go bad.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

The screeching noise is your fuel pump after it ingested a masss of glop from the bottom of the tank. Replace it. The good news is that the stock trunk tool kit has everything you need to change it.2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4WD LBZ/Allison

screeching noise is from the bay for sure. It comes whenever I rev it.
Cliffs: I bought an Alternator belt, A/C belt, and a P.s. belt. Gonna tackle it when I get home. screeching came before the car went bad, for the past two months or so.
....btw, the car failed SMOG a week or two ago, and the tester mentioned a loose vacum hose or something of the sorts. I'm growing restless now, and really wanna fly home to fix it!

check to see if youre getting
fuel
spark
