Chevy Suburban, 138,000 miles will not start
It just stopped running at a red light. Will not start, but sounds like it wants to. Starter is fine, alternator is fine, battery
is brand new, plugs are brand new, not the ignition modulator, rotor and distributor cap are fine, coilpak is fine, getting
white spark, sending unit is working, getting fuel pressure, timing chain is fine, we are stumped......
Thank you, I forgot to mention that until this happened the truck was running very smoothly, no issues at all....
They are receiving pulse. CHecked fuel pressure with a fuel pressure guage- we have fuel pressure, sending unit is working, spraying ether under the hood does not allow the engine to start even for a second. The throttle position sensor was not the problem- that was the only thing that came up on the computer. All fuses are ok. 6 mechanics are stumped, And in the meantime I have had no vehicle for 15 days.....
I don't know, the truck belongs to me, I am relaying what my mechanic is telling me but Ron is not here right now. Are you talking about the compression with the injectors? Like I might need to rebuild the motor??
He has not done that, but my truck has not been riding rough at all. Engine is quiet, accelerates smoothly, no bucking, no skipping, nothing that I have noticed at all. The only thing is the serpentine belt makes noise if it is wet, all the pulleys have been changed and the belt is the shorter one of the two for a suburban so it fits tightly enough- edges are not cracked or frayed. I have never sprayed anything on it, either...
Something is being overlooked, air and fuel in the correct mixture is compressed then ignited. Then your engine will run. What is the fuel pressure?
This is so frustrating and everyone is stumped. Unfortunately, I don't have unlimited funds to keep on eliminating issues after changing parts.....
Pull the spider injector out and make sure its working properly is the direction I would go in right now.
did you check the main fuse bank on the drivers side under the hood. There is an ignition fuse under there that if it blows the entire engine shuts down.
