Your culprit is most likely an ignition coil, but could be so many different things, such as bad ground connections, bad ECU or simply the ECU fuse. Check all fuses to see if any are burned out. Check all wiring for corrosion. If your engine bay is nice and greasy that's probably NOT the problem. If it is rusty then likely a previous owner or dealer power-washed the engine compartment to make it look new. That's bad news because water pressure can get into almost any electrical device in the compartment, especially the ignition components. Check inside distributor. If you're lucky you may simply need to replace the rotor, if you have one. If not, it's an ignition coil.

SOURCE: CAR WONT START AND NOT GETTING ANY FIRE TO SPARK PLUGS

Check the alternator? that'd be my best guess... Did you go through any water that might have gotten up under your hood lately? Before your car died did the lights get dim? if either of these happened i bet it's the alternator

We bought a 03 chevy venture have had it two weeks an it wont start......we put new fuel pump in it. Drove it around it was fine went to store it wont start....i am wheelchair bound could use help

There are numerous reasons for a vehicle not to start. You need to determine if the engine is getting fuel and spark. If one or the other is not present, there will be a no start. Remove a spark plug wire and ground it to the engine. Crank engine over and you should see a spark coming from the boot to the engine. If no spark present, possible crank sensor/ignition module/wiring/computer problem. If spark present, suspect fuel delivery problem. Fuel pump/relay/injector problem/wiring/computer. There can be a considerable amount of diagnostics needed to isolate the problem and correct it.

My '99 chevy truck with 5,7L 350 will start but wont stay running. put new fuel pump and relay switch in

First you must determine if the fuel is stopping or the spark is stopping..If the fuel is stopping this could be a computer problem.. If the spark is stopping then it could be the IGN Module in the distributer. or any nomber of sensors. Squirt a little fuel directly into the Throttle body on the intake manifold.. If the truck runs longer its probably loss of fuel.. Do this several times to make sure, be careful and only use a small amounty of fuel.. you do not want a fire.. RE: Spark: Take a plug wire and an old plug..put the wire on the plug.. hold the plug against a good ground .. have someone crank the engine .. does the plug stop firing? The engine dies.. and will not restart for a minuet or so.. during this "no start" time do the plug test. If the plug will not fire during this time take the module out and take it to Orillys Auto parts.. They can test it.. really expensive part. Don't replace until you know it is BAD..

Blazer wont start

You are getting good spark to the plugs? Have to assume you retimed it after you changed the rotor and cap. Wires are good?

Could be the ignition module, but they usually are either good or bad and not itermittent(sp)...

If it trying but just not 'catching'.. seems like a timing issue, or possibly the coil (although coils tend to be good or bad as well)

2000 chevy express 1500 van having starting issues

Start with fuel system. Listen for fuel pump humm at fuel tank No humm check wiring to pump for power. Then check for spark at plugs and wires. Remove wire from coil and hold near engine and see arch when you crank. No arch. Replace ignition Modular inside distributor cap or cap or rotor

Vehicle just keeps cranking wont start.

Make sure that your fuel presure is up to at least 60 psi if not that could be your problem. If not, make sure you are getting spark, if not could be your Crank sensor or ingniton module ECM. Usually if your Engine control module wouldn't be bad because of your fuel pump is working, but may not be putting out the proper pressure for the fuel system. Fuel Pumps are a Problem with that year..
