2001 gmc sierra sle cranks but won't start but someone before me messed with the wiring under the stirring wheel

If it has a distributor you will want to make sure that it is in time. If the ECU cant find the cam signal it doesn't know when to fire the coil. I have ran into this more tha once on that year truck.

Gmc sierra will not run. will crank but shut down.

no year car told, no engine told and is a pure engine/EFI question. a minute not 10second and dies, the dash IMMO lamp must not be unhappy or the engine is immoblizeds in 1 to 10 seconds. most cars or dead totally others. well , there are 50 causes or stalls on all engines we do up to 20 test using 10 or more tools to find real cause. guessing 50 times , no shop does that . can take the line and put in a can of gas it will run????????? HUH? this means test fuel works? sprayed into the intake and runs means it runs for 3seconds on test fueL and stalls/ we cant see your acts there, Impossible. too. here is the order (pure physics Otto cycle gas engine) ASE rules( books/training) engine must be good. (compressing tests pass and test fuel works.) spark must be good. if is test fuel works and and runs for 3 second is all a good sign then last is fuel all above ok testing fuel pressure must be at spec, no car told SO can not look that up. sierra what is it and year. Chevrolet C/K C1500 pickup or k = 4wd or ) what engine, lots of engine, Chevrolet Silverado Chevrolet Suburban top fix any car engine learn what is under hood first the RPO codes tell that. and VIN . by year

I have a 2009 GMC canyon that has no throttle response

Is the check engine light on, or yellow wrench light symbol? Hook up a professional grade scan tool an check for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes . No throttle response , problem with electric throttle control . Two position sensors in gas pedal assembly - two position sensors in the electronic throttle body - plus a DC motor to control throttle plate position. Other poster has no clue. Dirty throttle body would not cause no throttle response, rough or unstable idle for sure. If this answer helps you, please donate whatever you can. Thank you! paypal.me/TesfayHaile rip-off

1997 GMC K1500. No stop, turn, or tail lights on my 97 GMC K1500.

I would look for harness damage under the bed since the brake and tails are seperate circuits.

2005 GMC Envoy XL 4WD is stuck in neutral. How do l get it unstuck?

Q1: REVERSE IS DEAD TOO?> no VIN told or if transmission is automatic. or manual no engine told of 3 and tranny size matches engine power 4L60-e transmission is on 5.0L gm engine. I think most Envoy are A/T boxes. USA, shows this . PRNDL. Reverse. Drive and Low fail? say those words is east,. the transmission needs service, vast problems possible they are complex. causes, top:(SCAN THE PCM IS WISE SEE IF IT SEES A HUGE PROBLEM THERE.) BUT REVERSE DEAD IS A VERY BAD SIGN. SCAN THE PCM FOR SOLENOID ERRORS!
  1. ATF oil leaked out of box and now dry, diP stick it? ATF smells burnt or looks like TAG is bad news. or metal flakes in the ATF DRIPPED TO A SHEET OF PAPER.
  2. fuses blown but most time reverse still works.!!!
  3. transmission shift linkage failed. (the service manual covers the steps to check that, Read the SM?)
  4. transmission shift solenoids bad. (reverse? has none)
  5. transmission is bad. (means removal time)
NOW IF REVERSE FAILS ALL THESE THINGS HAPPEN TO ATTAIN IT. you asked so here is a complex answer, (not all) AND LOTS MORE TO FAIL. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/showthread.php?t=447470

2009 GMC Acadia rpm is running high and giving p0497 code

hot or cold engine High and how high is RPM not told. no it is not evap failing to cause RPM failures. 2 problems sure, but not THE problem well gas cap loose or bad is first. simple fix that is costs nothing, and cap good or cap bad $10 fix.but not RPM off. then purge solenoid. RPM high is the best clue here. for sure mine fails every 50k miles it seems and pull the valve and flex the valve inside while spraying silicon oil spray inside it and it goes 50k more miles costing me 50 cents lube. 497 Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System No Flow During Purge the test in the service manual are extensive example
  • A loose, missing, or damaged fuel fill cap can cause this DTC to set.
  • A stuck closed, blocked, or restricted EVAP canister purge solenoid valve, can cause this DTC to set.
  • A blockage or restriction in the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve vacuum supply hose, EVAP canister purge solenoid valve purge pipe, EVAP canister, or vapor pipe, can cause this DTC to set.
  • A temporary blockage in the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve, purge pipe or EVAP canister could cause an intermittent condition. Inspect and repair any restriction in the EVAP system.
  • To help locate intermittent leaks, use the J 41413-200 Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST) to introduce smoke into the EVAP system. Move all EVAP components while observing smoke with the J 41413-SPT High Intensity White Light. Introducing smoke in 15 second intervals will allow less pressure into the EVAP system. When the system is less pressurized, the smoke will sometimes escape in a more condensed manner.
  • To improve the visibility of the smoke exiting the EVAP system, observe the suspected leak area from different angles with the J 41413-SPT .
  • Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records vehicle mileage since the diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often the condition occurs that caused the DTC to set. This may assist in diagnosing the condition.
the valve is here "P" #10 if it leaks running, stuck open rpm can go wild or the hose to it is cracked purge-undefined-undefined-0.jpg

1999 GMC Suburban 1500. What can cause a battery drain in 1990 GMC Suburban?

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to model category. The first obvious thing to do it check for lights left on, dome light, hood and trunk lights. This is how you test for what is causing the parasitic drain. https://www.fixya.com/cars/r29903527-parasitic_draw_car_batteries ..
