What is wrong with my Uplander if I can start it with the first crank in the morning everytime but anytime after that during the day it will not crank over until I push on the gas pedal?

Visitor, July 16, 2010, 21:01ReplyI have the exact same problem with my 05 Uplander. I took it to be serviced back in 2008. The dealer said it was probably that the computer needed reset. It still does the same thing to this day.

Visitor, June 09, 2011, 15:00We have an '05 Uplander. Love the vehicle but we have had the same issue, having to step on the gas to get it to start. we recently discovered that we have a small split in the fuel rail by the injectors. Apparently, there is no recall on such a dangerous leak. These vehicles have the manifold pipe right down under the injectors. With such a crack in this rail, it allows air into the rail which is what is causing the van to not start. This is a pressure line and with this small break, the pressure is down. I feel GMC should pay for this kind of issue that we all seem to be having with our starting issues. Maybe all of you should check your fuel rails too.

stafford85 June 22, 2012, 14:34ReplyRookieI had the same problem and it did that until the fuel pump went out. We got a new one and it only worked about 30miles. Took it off and got another one..only 6ft this time. Finally found out that we had to get a new EMC and have it flashed the same time that we put the pump on. Once this was done I haven't had one problem. I did hear that these vans have alot of problems pertaining to the fuel area!
