GM Tech (Cam) :

There is no pressure at that port, it is to attach a vacuum gauge.

GM Tech (Cam) :

try pumping the fuel primer on the top of the filter until it gets stiff. THen see if it will start.

Customer :

I did that already it seams to get hard but when i leave it alone for a minuite it gets real easy to prime again ? also I connected my scanner and it does not communicate with it

GM Tech (Cam) :

Ok, the pressure does bleed off, but did you try to crank when it was stiff?

Customer :

yes

GM Tech (Cam) :

Customer :

GM Tech (Cam) :
