Re: Help please

How about a little more info? Does it crank?

So let's assume it cranks, but won't start...three things it could be. 1. Compression. Let's assume it has run in the recent past, and it has compression. 2. Fuel. What's the fuel pressure? 3. Spark. Is it getting spark?

Help us help you...

"Let's assume it has run in the recent future,"

HAHAHAHAHA


Also, it could be 4. Timing. But thats only if its cranking. He said his dash was screwy, I would go with the bad ECM too. My TY was dying at random times, it would crank and crank and not start. Let it sit 5, 10,15, 45 minutes (it was always different), and it would start right up. One time it did it, I hit the ECM and it started. Turned out to be a crack or probably a cold solder joint.

...recent future... oxymoron, oh well, I was a few (or more) beers into the evening.

Wow, what's with the spelling from the n00bs? :lol:

As stated before: more info needed. Does it just "click" when you turn the key? If so, check the purple wire. Does it try to crank? Does it actually crank? Does it try to run, but only sputters?

Re: Help please

Must have got it running.

As an FYI - it is impossible to have any boost without the truck running :)
