1995 Chevy Van (G20) 5.7L Single Point TBI Two Wheel Drive Automatic 142000 miles
This van was purchased used. The van sat for a year, but it started fine and ran excellent during the test drive. After purchase it suddenly died less than 5 miles away from seller. I checked the battery and it was dead, so I replaced it, but the van didn't want to start, it seemed to have no fire. I gave it a tune up (plugs, plug wires, distributor cap and rotor, filters, and oil change). Now it has fire and wants to start, but it will not idle, and dies if I give it gas, unless I am pumping it. A friend ran diagnostic and it says (code 54) fuel pump circuit. I need to know how I should begin repairs with this circuit and where is the fuel pump relay located. I chose subject electrical because diagnostics said circuit, but could it be a fuel filter or pump ? I am NO mechanic...I can do minor repairs myself...ANY insight will be helpful, Thank You.
