Hello everyone,

I need your advice. My son parked his Escalade facing down a steep hill - in frigid weather, with low fuel. It started and ran for about
45 seconds then stopped - now it won't start. Any ideas?
Thank you - he is scared to death it's something major. He is a hard working man - with some recent bad luck - including being bitten by a brown
recluse, lost work etc. If anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated.

Hopefully you have already tried adding fuel, at least 5 gallons. Does engine turn over fast or slow? Can you hear fuel pump come on when key is turned to run? What year is it?

 

Thanks for responding - and soo quickly. I don't know the answer to these questions and my son is at his fathers house for
their Christmas dinner so I will reach him shortly and reply. Thanks again!!!

 

Does the engine crank? The early Escalades suffer from bad fuel sending units just like their corporate cousins Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban. I have had two not counting the original which is three, one was a warranty job on a recall.
