Suburban K1500 5.7L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 152,490 miles

These Suburbans are known to have fuel pressure regulators that leak and dump excess fuel into the intake manifold causing your engine to flood and not start.

The repair is fairly simple only problem is getting to the regulator requires you to take the upper section of the intake manifold off which is a real battle.
