And for about two years now iv been battling this starting issue. the truck would start usually when cold, but when hot it might take two or 25 tries. it doesnt turn over and I hear the starter clicking, eventually it would turnover and start. Now it wont start at all, and it has a new starter and batt.

Hi. Sorry to hear about the problem you are facing. Let me try to help you out here. Quite likely there may be an issue with the ECM. The fuel module has a tendency to override the ECM timer. The solution could lie at the test connector, you could try grounding the G contact here and then remove the G contact. Then turn on the ignition switch. This might work.

If not, then you might have to replace the fuel pump and then for just a few seconds, you need to ground the G terminal. This could get the fuel pump working. Then remove the ground and you might be able to start the engine.

This article might also be pretty helpful to you in fixing the problem...

Most likely the coolant temperature sensor for the vehicle computer. Secondly, could be the tps sensor "throttle position sensor" not registering correctly or perhaps lots of other things but most likely the coolant temp sensor.

SOURCE: I replaced my starter for a 98 chevy suburban 2

Possible not shimmed correctly. The starter teeth have to engage correctly for the starter not to hang up. That's what probably happened & broke teeth off. You had better check your flywheel around the entire circumfrence as teeth may be missing from it as well. Starter won't engage if teeth and flywheel teeth in same spot are broken off. If the flywheel teeth are bad, it will be a spendy fix to put a new one on... Rick

SOURCE: turns over but wont start

you need to find out if your missing spark at plugs or fuel pressure,you could hear the pump but that doesn't tell you if you have 5psi or 55psi,
you will need a fuel preesure gauge and check that on the fuel rail redd valve if you end up having spark

Start with fuel system. Listen for fuel pump humm at fuel tank No humm check wiring to pump for power. Then check for spark at plugs and wires. Remove wire from coil and hold near engine and see arch when you crank. No arch. Replace ignition Modular inside distributor cap or cap or rotor

SOURCE: 2006 Chevy Cobalt wont start.

Check your battery, make sure terminals are tight and clean. If terminals are corroided, pour name brand coke a cola over terminals; the acid will eat away the corrosion. If this does not work, check connection to starter. If starter connection are good and you are sure battery's good, then your starter is bad.

1998 Chev 1500. 305 T.B.injection. Engine runs a little ruff when first started hot or cold but smooths out perfect after about 10 min of running. Check engine light on.

If you haven't already changed plugs and wires, do that first, but i suspect you have an intake gasket or a head gasket leaking. It runs rough when you start it because of coolant in the cylinder. After it clears out and dries, it will run fine. That would especially be the case if you have to add coolant occasionally.

93 chev 1500 won,t start

typical fuel pump issue.. Usually around $600 to have it done. The tech would check for pressure and then test the ground and the power souce for a voltage drop. If all this is not done to verify you need a 600 dollar pmp you cold be just throwing parts at it as you go.

90 chev 350 runs bad

The ignition module in those usually work or they dont. But on the 90 model years , you have to have a pretty evident problem for the engine light. I would bet 1 of 2 things. The oxygen sensor at the "y" pipe is out, or the catalytic converter or muffler is plugged .ok that was 3 things, tell me how that works out for ya.
