SOURCE: 1997 chevy silverado 3500 with

We found the problem by taking the truck to the dealership, after spending $550.00 on parts and having everything we could remove tested or we purchased them new and replaced them. We spent two weeks on it and took it to Chevrolet but it took them three days after all we had done, the problem turned out to be the gear on the distributor, sure we replaced every part in it but because we could not get the distributor out with the intake on it we had not even considered the gear, thanks for your assistance and maybe we'll try you again next time....Thanks again.

There is no test for module in distributor, but they often cause this kind of problem. Also while in there, check the pickup coil wires to make sure they are intact.

Use a Spark tester tool to check for spark. Also, have your timing checked. If you have fuel pressure, you only need spark and compression. You can use a flathead screwdriver, touching to each injector while someone turns over the engine, and listen for a click. If you hear the injectors clicking, they are probably working alright. Test for spark, replace spark plug wires if you have spark on some wires, but not others. Replace the ignition module if no spark is present, but only after having the timing checked. If the timing is correct, you have fuel, and you have replaced the ignition module, wires, etc, you may have a failed ECU, or computer.

Citroen Despatch turns over but won't start, not battery problem

Fuel delivery, probably.

Try the following - remove the airbox and spray some starter fluid into the throttle body while someone else cranks the engine. If it tries to start up/run for a few seconds, then you know it's a fuel problem. If it doesn't change anything, then it's most likely a spark issue.

Check the plugs/wires/etc for fouling.

1997 chevrolet suburban with 7.4 engine will not start after being turned off without waiting 10 minutes.

Car not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities. It can be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then it can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition coil or injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned.


To confirm the problem, the basic troubleshooting is required.

Auto zone says my alternator is good, new batt. and starter is good. engine is still sluggish to start, turns over slowly. what can be the problem. 1990 tempo.

Sounds more like your ignition timing is off.
Does the engine spark knock or rattle when it is accelerating or going up a hill?

maybe fuel enrichment circuit for cold start is not working. If you spray some starting fluid in the throttle body and it starts right up cold, look for a problem with fuel enrcihment during cold start.

1990 bronco v8 4wd short version wont start

did you try giving it a good tune up?

If it has been more than a year since you have given it a tune up, plugs and wires, this is more than likely your problem, with a truck of this age, they tend to gunk the plugs up....
