Remove the #1 plug put a straw in the hole until the piston is all the way up. at that point the rotor under the capm should be pointing to the #1 plug wire make sure you follow the fire trace on the cap to insure you are pointing at #1

I have a 1991 chevy with a 4.3 vortec that just had the engine rebuilt. has spark and gas but wont fire. what could be the cause?

If your 1991 Chevy's 4.3 Vortec engine has spark and fuel, but still fails to ignite, there are several possible reasons to consider. Timing: Make sure the burn time is set correctly. Incorrect timing can prevent the engine from starting. Double-check the timing marks to make sure they align properly. Compression: Make sure the engine has adequate compression. If the pressure is low in one or more cylinders, starting problems may occur. A compression test will help determine this. Fuel Delivery: Even though you said it has gas, pay close attention to the fuel delivery system. Make sure the fuel pump is working properly, the fuel filter is clean, and the fuel lines are not clogged or leaking. Air intake: Inspect air intake for blockages or leaks. A clogged air filter or leaking intake manifold gasket can affect engine performance. Vacuum leaks: Check the vacuum lines and connections for leaks. A vacuum leak can cause an uneven mixture of air and fuel and cause starting problems. Sensors: The engine relies on sensors to send information to the computer unit (ECU). Defective sensors such as the crankshaft position sensor or camshaft position sensor can prevent the engine from stalling. Wiring and connections: Ensure all electrical connections are secure and non-corrosive. Damaged wiring or loose connections can block signals to engine parts. ECU/PCM: The engine's computer (ECU/PCM) can be faulty, preventing proper signals from reaching the engine components. Distributor cap and rotor: If your engine uses a distributor, inspect the distributor cap and rotor for any signs of wear or damage.

97 chevy suburban missfire cylinder #3 at start up

If you replaced the plug, wire and cap then it's either gona be the intake gasket seeping or a bad valve. Gasket more than likely I'd say bc the vortec motors are really bad about leaking or blowing the lower intake gaskets

My 97 chevy astro wont start when cold but well when i spray starting fluid in the intake ive changed every thing in the fuel system including the pump

what is the fuel pressure with key on and engine off? since you mentioned spider injector assembly it has to be a vortec engine that requires 55psi to open the poppet valve in the injectors just to start.

Have a multiple misfire on a 97 chevy suburban 5.7 vortec. Stumbling at idle and during stop and go traffic, idles fine in nuetral. Help?

You might consider replacing the cam sensor. The computer relys on this signal in order to generate spark timing.

I own a 96 chevy k1500 5.7 l vortec and have a no 5 cyl misfire

It could be a faulty fuel injector, try running a fuel injector cleaner through your fuel system. At worst the poppet nozzle has gone bad and will need to be replaced, you can buy the poppet nozzle it self individually at Auto Zone or buy upgrade MFI system which is much better and less pron to fuel leaking room a cracked poppet line or nozzle which will cause what you have described.

Hard to start chevy 350 vortec

You will need to do a fuel pump pressure leak-down test, the pump must not loose more than 5 PSI overnight, u will need a cheap fuel pressure test guage, the test port is on the fuel supply rail to the injectors on the intake manifold, it looks like a tire valve but metal with a plastic cap on it, u may be able to borrow this guage from Kragen, Autozone or a parts store like them, if not they are very cheap, less than $20 US. Run the engine with the test guage hooked up, turn off the engine and then check it in an hour or so, if it drops more than 5 PSI then u will need to replace the fuel pump in the gas tank. One note make sure the connection for the guage is tight with no leakage or the test is invalid
