SOURCE: gmc sub wont start 1996

Your fuel pump may be at the end of it's life and need to be replaced. Your going to have to check your fuel pressure at the shredder valve, to have the engine start you need 60 to 65psi. Any other readings will not start and under 55psi, engine will not run. It's common to hear the electric fuel pump working but the mechanical pump it self is worn out and can no longer provide the proper fuel pressure for your SEFI system. Good luck and keep me posted, be glad to help get you truck running again. Auto Zone has loner tool program and they will have the step by step instructions to get the job done.

SOURCE: 1996 gmc k1500 4x4 5.7 vortec motor no start keep

Replace the coolant sensor on the front of the intake manifold.The coolant sensors on this engine does go bad and wont set a check engine light. The sensor will read about -32 to 0 degrees when they do go bad. The computer thinks it is that cold and sends tons of fuel to the engine. If you try to start the engine with the throttle depressed to the floor it puts the fuel system in clear flood mode and wont fire the injectors. Engine will start then and run very rich. The coolant sensor has two wires on it and sometimes you need to replace the wiring pigtail going to it as the sensor can seep coolant into the connector and corrode the terminals. All the parts are available at pepboys and autozone or napa. Good luck

Why does my 2.5 GMC sonoma truck skips or misses?

Worn timing belt or bad map sensor, weak ignition coil, worn distributor gear (usually starts hard with that) Leaking manifold gaskets all possible causes. Start with a new coil, spray starting fluid around manifold gasket while running, if it revs up in any certain spots, manifold leaking (intake only test), check vacuum lines for cracks and leaks,(MAP) replace sensor. Over 75,000 miles probably timing belt, recommended change interval is 60,000 miles.

I have a 1996 GMC K1500 with the 5.7L vortec that won't start without starting fluid. After the first start in the morning, I can get the truck to start on the second or third try for the rest of the...

my experiance has been to find a cracked ignition coil, to check this you need a hande triggered spray bottle with water, open the hood and locate the coil start the engine and spray the coil down with a mist look and listen for an electrical arch or if the truck simply shuts off replace the coil and be carefull(its never happened to me) you dont get shocked

I have a 96 GMC Suburban that turns over with spark at the coil but has no spark at the plugs. I have replaced the coil and the ICM. What else could it be?

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

Have you replaced the distributor coil pack? If the coil pack is burnt or worn out there will be no spark to the plugs which may result to a no start issue. I strongly suggest that you have it replaced.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Gmc safari van cranks over, but will not fire up or start.Have tried starter fluid and still no start. Has plenty of crank,but no start

I had the same problem with my 2000 GMC Safari two years ago....drove me CRAZY!

Sometimes it would start right up...other times it just would crank and not start.

It turned out to be a cracked coil....I found it by using a spray bottle with water in it, and "misting" the engine, at night....with the engine running. (On a night when it DID start!)

It took a while, but finally the hairline crack let in some water and the electrical short showed by a spark coming out of the coil.

I replaced the coil with a new one, and it has never "not started" since.

Evidently the coil cover gets brittle and develops small, hairline cracks due to heat from the engine.

Oh...by the way....I tested the coil it showed that it was fine!....but it took the "misting" at night...in the dark...to find the spark "leaking" out.

My 1984 polo will not idle without the choke out.

you could try the air filter, but if not that check oil condition and level. if it is a milky colour then you mite have a leaking head gasket which could cost you quite a lot to have repaired
