First make sure you have lots of gas in the tank, between a quarter and half. Turn the ignition on and listen for a humming or buzzing noise coming from the tank. The fuel pump should run for a few seconds. If there is no noise you will have to check for a blown fuse. No bad fuses, change the fuel pump.
If the pump runs, remove the fuel line from the tank end of the filter and turn the key on for a secoond or 2. If there is lots of fuel then replace the filter. If fuel just dribbles replace the pump.
If you have to work on the fuel pump, make sure the electrical connections are not corroded and are not loose. Also check the rubber hoses at the connection. Sometimes they will go soft and collapse, plugging the fuel line. Make sure you put the fuel lines back on properly. Hope this helps.

My standard 99 Saturn sl 1 acts like its running out of gas when I shift up from 1st to 2nd is it fuel related ? Transmission related ?

If it starts fine and runs. It could be the fuel filter. I would start with the fuel and air filter. And check fuel pressure.

1991 cavalier 2.2L which way does the flow arrow point on the fuel filter under the car by the gas tank. The old filter arrow was worn off. Do i install the new filter with the arrow towards the r/r tire...

The arrow is the flow of fuel and it should be pointing to the engine. That is where it going. It will work backwards for a while till it clogs up, there is no room for debris in there but one way. Check it out.

1991 toyota pickup dies when you release the gas pedal

There are couple of things I would check out that would cause this problem.

1. The Mass Air Flow Sensor. It measures how much air is going into the engine. Should be located on top of air filter box.

2. The air tube that goes from the Mass Air Flow Sensor to the throttle body. Check for leaks that would bypass air from going through the Mass Air Flow Sensor.

3. The Throttle Position Sensor. Located on the throttle body. This tells the computer what position the butterfly plate is on the throttle body. You control this plate with the gas pedal..

I have a 1991 GMC suburban, it started fine and

You need to replace the fuel filter every 30000 miles.The gas stations tanks are full of dirt. Also check the flow of the catalitic converter.Put your hand at the tail pipe while someone is pushing the gas petal down. The farther they push the petal the more exhaust should be coming out.
I hope this helps you
