So i take my truck to work. I get out of work and try to start it and it doesn't start! It isn't the battery, the engine turns, it just isn't combusting. I take off the air filter to get an unobstructed air flow and it still doesn't start. Just keeps turning. It's either my distributor not giving spark or my fuel system, maybe bad fuel pump? Any suggestions.

It's weird that it was fine on the drive to work. then it just didn't want to start a few hours later.

all help appreciated


thanks

One thing you could try is have a friend turn her over and u spray starter fluid
into the intake see if she ignites least then you can tell if its fuel or spark related.

Yes, fuel spark or air. You aren't getting one of those. Air usually isn't the problem.

thanks. I wish i could but its fuel injected an i think i would have to take the whole upper intake off to do that. ill try it if its a last resort. i wont start trying to fix it till saturday morning. all help is appreciated though

im pretty sure you can still do it, its just not as direct as it would be if your straight injecting a carbed engine.

Well the only other thing that I do be it wrong or right I pull the main wire from coil to cap and let it ark to something metal in the engine bay.

Just spray the starting fluid into the throttle body. That's what he meant, it goes to the same place.

do i have to take off the upper EFI manifold to get to the intake manifold?

Dominick
