5.7 Vortec No Start Has Fuel And Spark

Then the circuit, ignition switch and sensor tests I have compiled on my list from here and talking with Chevy techs and independent techs. 7 Vortec engine and it is not getting any spark, there are several things that can cause the issue. Cause you heard it run when you yanked out the donor vehicle? Next we are changing out a full wire set and plugs... after that... the coil. Checked most of my grounds fuel related and i know i am getting fuel ie. 5.7 vortec no start has fuel and spark switch. The timing chain was actually just fine.

5.7 Vortec No Start Has Fuel And Spark Engine

Thank you received: 129. 28 Aug 2019 14:53 - 28 Aug 2019 14:54 #33222 by rpd1125. I wasn't too worried about the air coming into the engine, but I did notice that some of the clamps were loose on the tubing coming from the air box, I tighten them up just in case. Turns out I've had a faulty ground strap. Post your repair questions here. He thinks this pulse train is not getting to the ECM, so it never re-energizes the fuel pump relay. Oh ok well I guess that check is also the the same as checking the injector pulse. 5 MILLION GM Truck Enthusiasts every month who use as a daily part of their ownership experience. 5.7 vortec no start has fuel and spark problems. This can also be used as a preliminary test as to if the wiring is good. I have the truck listed above 1500 model with the first gen throttle body injection. I'm gonna start checking into the optispark now.

And fuel pump primes and his 41psi rail pressure, I even tried spraying extra fuel into the intake manifold to be sure but still no start. He called me back, He told me he was driving down the interstate. However I haven't seen one shut off while running because of injectors just all of a sudden plugging up, so you still may have issues elsewhere. I double checked the distrub. 7 tpi auto will not start. If the engine was previously running, it would be hard to condemn compression and ignition timing. Both of which are under the upper plenum on a L31. When it goes bad, it also causes issues with the spark. Pressure steadily drops to around 55 psi (which is below the minimum spec of 61 to fire the injectors). 7 so ive got a new set of plugs on the way, if it turns out to just be the plus i will be so happy. 5.7 vortec no start has fuel and spark engine. Here is a post with picks: Also note that your timing is not adjustable on these engines. 7 tpi, fuel, spark, no start.

5.7 Vortec No Start Has Fuel And Spark Switch

First of the injectors. Yeah... we are only getting AC Delco parts from now on... Now it widens way out as to what it could be. I'm kinda stumped, I don't see why it all of a sudden it would not start after sitting. Also, disconnect the battery for a week or two and the trouble codes go away and I have never seen the pcm set any trouble codes beyond the CPS if the engine won't run. My buddy has now saved up a little bit of money. My next steps was to check spark. The PCM commands the module to fire the ignition coil, and if the coil is producing spark, it's probably not the module. 97 5.7 Vortec won't start. I have a friend that has a scanner, just the problem is getting up with him. Alright here my story. From here you have a few possibilities left. Replace the affected plug if you see this or other signs of damage.

03-05-2017 06:37 PM. Its appears to be right on. The 98.............................. HAS.......................... a crank sensor my 97 has one you self (and me) and look at the passengers side of the crank right behind the ballancer and there you WILL find a crank sensor!!!!!!! These breaks in the line create an open circuit, causing the ignition coil to behave as though it's switched off. In 20 seconds you can become part of the worlds largest and oldest community discussing General Motors, Chevrolet and GMC branded pickups, crossovers, and SUVs. So looking for some advice on what to check for. Engine cranks, no start, gas fumes/smoke puffs out of intake. The default gap on the plugs is 0. In either case, the coil should be replaced. Does the engine oil dipstick smell like raw fuel? I have to agree with 98white5. When I let off the key it will sort of "cough" out of the TB; like it's trying to fire but the key is off and it's not turning over anymore. Any insight on how to do so? Plugs were changed a little over 6 months ago but i pulled two or 3 and they all look fine they have gas on them?

5.7 Vortec No Start Has Fuel And Spark Problems

01-05-2012, 10:03 PM||# 25|. By the way, I have no codes. By using switches, people can break or change the circuit; allowing them to try and fix the problem and start the car again. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. This truck has an oil gauge, not a light. So, if any one of these is missing, your engine will not start. Moving the distributor around changes the cam timing. Like the rotor, if it is old and worn out, it is usually best to replace it. DON'T turn the steering shaft or wheels when the shaft is disconnected. 1998 K1500 Vortec starts but won't run -- help. Now it just starts and dies a second or so after starting. Ignition module seems to be fine... in fact, it has no dust on it (nor does the heat sink).. so I'm thinking it was changed recently. Recently Browsing 0 members.

Keep in mind while rare, sometimes a spark can be seen but is weak, which can cause no-start issues. They burn and then ignition signal confirmation does not get back to the ECM. I replaced the fuel filter and still the same, looked at the crankshaft position sensor and it seemed fine. I also checked the fuses and all light up but what I did find is a manufacturer defect on my plug wires and all of them are arcing on the exhaust manifolds. There is one guy who says he has replaced nearly a dozen ignition switches in GMs for this exact problem. Ended up pulling up the upper intake and found a few leaking lines and a little puddle of fuel in the intake, yet the data in the Modus said all ok and we followed the test instuctions that are in the modus. Brand new here, guys, and I am hoping for some help because this truck is driving me crazy. 7 fired up first time but felt like it was running on like 3 cylinders, i was getting spark, good fuel pressure but it was just missing and ran terrible. But my newborn twins are 6 weeks old today. Get everything back in hooked up.

5.7 Vortec No Start Has Fuel And Spark Plug

Unbolt the steering shaft from the gear box, and move the shaft aside, takes 5 minutes. Was the ignition control module replaced as well? Long story short, I have replaced the fuel pump, distributor, cap and rotor, plugs and wires, timing chain and gears, crank sensor, coil, ignition control module, and the ECM and still nothing. Good spark at the coil, but bad spark at the spark plug. The 98, BTW, is a distributor ignition, so it has no position sensors. Its that kind of sound... maybe not as loud (could just be drowned out by engine cranking). If you say your injectors are spraying, then the plugs should be wet, if they are dry, the intake valves aren't opening (snapped camshaft). I won't have a need for a top of the line one seeing I'd only use it on occasion. Crankshaft Angle Sensor. Had the timing chain slipped? How To Fix No Spark? You can find this information in your vehicle's repair manual.

Why wouldn't it start even though it had spark? If you're getting a spark at the coil but a no spark condition for the engine, this is a sign the spark plugs or wires around them are the issue. Disconnect the connection(the one that is held with the small metal clip) on fuel injector number 1. Originally Posted by RottenApple311. As I mention truck was running just fine. If it looks to be in bad shape, it is usually best to replace it.

My guess is that the original problem is still there, and it is coincidence that it started and ran for a couple days. Just for grins, I checked the operation of the pump relay. I have my doubts, but he says it is a fuel pump issue. Not Allowed: to reply. The tool detects digital signals in a circuit and flashes an LED light. Without any codes it is real hard to pinpoint the issue without a little guessing.
