SOURCE: not starting!

Check and see if the Injectors are firing. Disconnect one of the injectors and use a test light and paperclip. Put the paperclip in one of the disconnected injector connectors terminals, clip the testlight to the paperclip. Now touch the tip of the testlight to the other terminal in the same connector DON'T LET THE TWO TOUCH TOGOTHER AT ANY TIME!! Have someone crank the engine the light should blink if so good Now do it to the other three I have seen a bad computer that was only firing two injectors,
If its the computer you cannot just go and buy a used one and pop it in they are programmed to the vehicles VIN # you will go to the Chevy Dealer to have the program uploaded into the PCM in the truck
Please give me a fixya f you think this information is helpful Thanks Randy

SOURCE: 1987 chevy s10 2.5l tbi will not start. changed

That eliminates the crankshaft and camshaft position sensors. Have you checked the fuel injector itself for an open winding or stuck valve plunger? There should not be a steady 12 volts to the injector--if good injector, it would be spraying fuel steadily into the throttle body. But at least the engine should try to run if poorly. Take the injector out, dry it off with air, and intermittently apply 12 volts to one terminal while grounding the other. You should hear a click from inside every time you touch 12 volts. If not, replace it. If it does, it may be plugged with debris. Try blowing through it in reverse with compressed air.

1988 chevy S10 turns over but won't start getting spark put in new fuel pump,cpu and injector. If I pour A little gas in throttle body hole it will fire for a few sec. fueses all test good.

Hello, just had this problem myself. Check your EGR valve by pulling the vacume line off and pushing up under the valve put your finger over the vacume line hole and release the valve, if it returns to normal position then its bad if not its good. If its bad it needs replaced. Mine did the exact same thing and thats what it was. Hope this helps

1991 dodge 150 new fuel pump 30,000 miles ago. Has been setting for 4yrs. Truck runs for a few seconds if you pour gas into it but wont stay running. Have been told not good for this system to set for that...

the injectors may have clogged--especially if the gas was 4 years old. You will need fresh gas and probably need to clean out the injectors. Loosen the gas line to the throttle body to make sure you are getting fuel pressure. Then, look into the barrel while cranking to see if the injectors are firing. If they will not fire, replace them. Let me know if you have questions.

CAR WONT STAY RUNNIG

is it fuel injected? you might have a faulty sensor it sounds like a vapor lock, also you fuel injectors might be dirty or bad also check fuel pump pressure or a cloged fuel filter, or it is putting to much gas if your vette has a carb.

2000 toyota tacoma 2.4l wont start when cold

clogged injectors you need to put cleaner in the fuel to help get dirt and grit out of them some times (every 3 months).
I am assuming you are saying it will turn over but not fire and run when cold?

Back fire while driveing

check for vacuum leaks at your throttle body, intake manifold gaskets and vacuum line, or you could possibly have a sticking valve. if I am understanding you rite the truck sat for 2 years. also check the wiring to your sensors as for a rodent may have chewed some insulation off, this happened to my sons car.

Need 2 get truck started

I had a geo metro that sat a long time and the gas turned to varnish. You will need to drop the tank, clean out the gunk, put in a new fuel pump and and filter and flush the fuel lines out to the injectors.
