Is Your 2013 Orlando Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a vehicle you can’t rely on. If your Chevrolet Orlando, or another compatible GM model, is suddenly stalling at intersections, hesitating when you press the gas, or simply won’t turn over, the issue might not be what you think. While many shops might immediately point to a bad fuel pump—an expensive and labor-intensive repair—my 20+ years of diagnostic experience have shown that the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM) is often the real culprit.
Real-World Diagnostic Story: “A customer’s 2014 Cruze came into my shop last month with classic ‘bad fuel pump’ symptoms: intermittent stalling and a no-start condition after it sat warm. They had already been quoted over $900 for a new pump assembly. I hooked up my scan tool and monitored the desired vs. actual fuel pressure. The readings were erratic. Instead of jumping to the pump, I first checked the FPCM, which on these GM platforms is known for failing due to heat and vibration. Sure enough, tapping on the module caused the fuel pressure to drop out completely. We replaced the FPCM with a pre-programmed unit like this one, and the car ran perfectly. It saved the customer hundreds of dollars and a lot of unnecessary work.”

- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Note their orientation. Then, unbolt the old module from its mounting point.
