Hello whoever you are! I just purchased a 94 olds bravada and the people I'm financing it from told me it was my fuel pump. they have changed my fuel pump 3 times now. I'm on the highway last night in the torrington area (no lights at all) and it starts doing the same thing. giving me the same problems. what advice do you have because I'm over my professionalism with these people! I'm ready to take them to small claims court because this truck is a mess.
I have had my bravada for 2 years and have had problems, but overall it's a nice vehicle I've hooked it up with 20s and have a bugshield, rainvents, tv, soundsystem, not yourordinary bravada I love it must see the full picture to appreciate the full potential of the bravada.
Hi, I have an 1994 Olds Bravada and I have had problems also. I am getting ready to replace the heater core for the 2nd time, but mainly I have had EGR problems. I have owned it since it was 1 1/2 yrs old. It came from a recovery lot because it was in a flood in Texas when the vehicle was only 6 months old.
If you don't think that it is the fuel pump, check into the EGR valve. I have had to replace mine and also have it cleaned periodically because it gets clogged up. My mechanic said it is a common problem with this motor. The car will start acting like it wants to stall and you have to keep one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake at red lights. Most of the time the check engine light will come on, but some times it doesn't. My mechanic usually charges about $20.00 to clean it so I pretty much just live with the problem.
I just bought a 92 Bravada. I got it cheap because the EGR (exhaust gas recirculating) valve was plugged, and the vehicle wasn't running well, a common problem. Have your mechanic install a gasket with a screen to help keep the EGR from getting plugged if it happens to you.
The problems with fuel pump failures is common on GM products, I've had the same problem on my Berreta, Astro, and Safari. Three suggestions here. One: the fuel pump is submersible, mounted inside the gas tank. The gasoline actually acts a coolant for the pump. Never let your tank get below the redline on the gage if you can help it. Two: buy replacement pumps with a life time warranty and keep your receipts. Three: In high humidity areas (esp. in winter) keep the tank at least half full at all times. This will reduce the amount of water contamination from condensation. My daddy always said "it cost the same to fill the top half of the tank as the bottom half"
My 94 bravada won't start right on the first key turn all of the time can anyone tell me why?
Most likely bad fuel pressure regulator, or bad cpi unit.
