Is Your 2013-2014 Buick Verano Stalling, Hesitating, or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a car that won’t run right. You turn the key, and it just cranks. Or maybe it starts, but then sputters and dies at a stoplight. These are classic signs of a fuel delivery problem, and on many modern GM vehicles, the culprit isn’t the fuel pump itselfโit’s the small computer that controls it: the Fuel Pump Control Module (FPCM), also known as the Fuel System Control Module (FSCM).
As a technician with over two decades of experience under the hood, I’ve seen this exact scenario play out hundreds of times. The FPCM is responsible for precisely managing the voltage sent to the fuel pump, ensuring your engine gets the exact amount of fuel it needs. When it fails, it can starve the engine of fuel, leading to a host of drivability nightmares.
The Simple, Reliable Solution: A VIN-Programmed FPCM
Forget the expensive trip to the dealership and the hassle of getting a new module programmed. We handle the critical step for you. This module is a direct-fit replacement for your 2013-2014 Verano, and we program it with the latest GM software using your vehicle’s specific VIN before it ever leaves our facility. This ensures perfect communication with your car’s other computers and restores factory performance.
Real-World Diagnosis: A Technician’s Story
“A customer’s 2014 Verano came into my shop last week with the classic crank-no-start symptom. They had already spent a few hundred dollars replacing the in-tank fuel pump, but the problem remained. A quick check with my scan tool showed the fuel pump command was erratic. We weren’t dealing with a bad pump; the FPCM wasn’t telling it what to do. Swapping in a pre-programmed module like this one had the car running perfectly in under 30 minutes. It’s a common misdiagnosis that can save you a lot of time and money.”
