O5 Colorado got the ecm code when I shut off the truck and now it won't turn over

Had the muffler replaced and started it up backed out then shut off the engine and it hasn't started since. It turned over a few times now it won't try to turn over but everything else is working

What ECM code ? What is everything else that is working ? Headlamps , inside lighting , radio etc... When you turn the key on do the instrument cluster warning lights come on then off a few seconds later ? Anti-theft (security light ) On ? Flashing ? Do you know what all is involved ,or happens when you turn the key to start ?
Circuit Description (ECM/PCM Controlled)
Moving the ignition switch to the START position sends a 12-volt signal to the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM) Crank Request circuit. The ECM/PCM verifies that the transmission is in the PARK or NEUTRAL position. With the transmission in Park, voltage flows through the Park/Neutral position switch and feeds the starter relay coil. The PCM then grounds the control circuit of the starter relay. When the starter relay is energized it allows battery positive voltage to the starter solenoid S terminal. On some vehicles the starter will continue to crank the engine with the key released until it starts or the crank command has timed out to prevent excessive heat build up in the starter circuitry or the ECM/PCM receives an engine run flag.
Circuit Description (BCM Controlled)
Moving the ignition to the START position signals the body control module (BCM) that engine crank has been requested. The BCM verifies that theft is not active and sends a serial data message to the powertrain control module (PCM) requesting engine start. The BCM also energizes the RUN/CRANK RELAY. When the RUN/CRANK RELAY switch side closes, and the vehicle is in Park or Neutral or with the clutch is fully depressed, if equipped, supplies voltage to the starter relay coil. The PCM verifies the transmission is in Park or Neutral and the clutch is fully depressed, if equipped. The PCM will then ground the control circuit of the starter relay, closing the switch supplying voltage to the starter solenoid. On some vehicles the starter will continue to crank the engine with the key released until it starts of the crank command has timed out to prevent excessive heat build up in the starter circuitry or the PCM receives an engine run flag.


Verify that no starter relay, immobilizer, or automatic transmission DTCs are set that would cause the PCM to disable starting.
? If the specified DTCs are set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle .
Ignition ON, observe the scan tool PCM Ignition 1 Signal parameter with a scan tool. The reading should be greater than 10.0 Volts.
? If less than the specified value, test the ETC, PCM 1, and PCM B fuses, the RUN/CRNK relay, and the PCM ignition voltage circuits for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the PCM.
Ignition OFF, remove the START relay.
Verify that a test lamp illuminates between the B+ circuit terminal 30 and ground.
? If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the START fuse and the B+ circuit for an open/high resistance.
Ignition ON, transmission in Park or clutch pedal pressed, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the PNP/clutch start switch signal circuit terminal 86 and ground.
? If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the IGN fuse, RUN/CRANK relay, PNP/clutch switch ignition voltage circuit, and the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the PNP switch or the clutch start switch.
Connect a test lamp between the park/neutral signal circuit terminal 86 and the relay coil control circuit terminal 85.
Ignition ON, transmission in Park, or clutch pedal pressed, turn the ignition switch between the START and RUN positions. The test lamp should turn ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
? If the test lamp is always ON, test the relay control circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PCM.
? If the test lamp is always OFF, test the relay control circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. Test the PNP/clutch start switch signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the PCM.
Install the START relay.
Connect a test lamp between the starter solenoid terminal and ground.

STARTING ISSUES 2008 COLORADO

I am not sure why you replaced the coil packs but if the issue did not exist before you changed the check all the connections. This is an electrical issue. If the problem existed before the coil change. Start checking the ignition system as it sounds like your start/ run circuit is being disrupted. This circuit can also effect the fuel system. One other question! Did you replace your fuel pump with an after market type. If so replace it with an AC Delco pump as after markets have issues of not maintaining the pressures once warm. Hope this helps you solve your issue.

I have a 2001 Chrysler T/C 3.8 won,t start have fault codes P0353,P0352,P0351,Replaced coil still no start can anyone help me?

codes p351-2-3 refer to ignition coil A -B -C primary /secondary-circuit malfunction==causes--wiring--ignition coil --ECM. Causes are the same for all three.. As the ECM is common to all three, producing the same code I would be incline to replace the ECM

Code P0610 Replace ECM?

I would check with Chevy service first - - the generic code means the computer thinks the transmission is automatic and it is actually manual or the other way around.
It could be a wiring problem or something inside the ECM.

2006 chevy colorado out of the blue will not start. just makes clicking sound. Started it drove out of garage shut it off. Went back out 5 minutes later won't start. Clock even reset.

Sounds like a bad battery. A number of chain auto parts stores will check it and your charging system free. Before that, if your battery has removable caps, check the water level, if it's down, fill to the bottom of the fill rings and charge the battery, if you have a battery hydrometer, all the cells should have about the same charge level, if one or more show a lot lower than the others, battery is probably bad. Hope this helps.

Check engine light code p1133 on a chevy colorado 2005

The code means the ECM doesn't like the exhaust mixture coming thru the cat.
It could mean one of the O2 sensors has failed, but could also be caused by a list of other problems with the fuel-air mixture.
If the ECM can't adjust the fuel trim to keep in the range, the cat could be damaged and fail inspection, so the ECM turns the light on and goes into safe mode until the problem is fixed.

Difficult to start up sounds sluggish, once shut off, won't start, coil was hot (coil recently replaced). Needs new muffler.

Replace spark plugs with new ones. put new muffler in. The muffler has an affect on the way engine runs. (back pressure) is needed. At this age you may need a head gasket(s). Compression check on all cylinders. The list goes on... Good luck

HAD STEERING COLUM REPLACE , USED SAME IGN SWITCH WON`T START , CODE P0603 PCM MEMORY RESET

It Aslo May Need to Relearn--Turn Key on for 10 minutes then Off for 30 Secs then Turn it Back on for 10 Mins Do this 1 More time this should let the ECM RELEARN itself
