Ty wont start!!!

[jbone]

I went to start the truck this morning and ran for maybe ten seconds and then died. Now it wont start. It turns ovre but thats about it. I just cant figureout why it would run for a few secs but not start again. Im not very good at troubleshooting so any ideas??? I need to move it tonight before it start snowing and everything.

Re: Ty wont start!!!

well then i'd check your coil wire also..maybe you didn't have it seated and it popped off

It's a stretch but check the coil itself. I've seen them just quit.

Re: Ty wont start!!!

Well I went to start it today just for shits and giggles and whata ya know!!! It started right up. IDK what happened but at least its running now. Im still getting the same screetching noise from the distributor that I was before I replaced the cap and rotor though, so do you think I should replace it?

Re: Ty wont start!!!

Well I'd at least pull it and see what going on. New/rebuilt ones aren't that expensive.

BTW you say you're sill slow with that build. How slow are you?

Re: Ty wont start!!!

If you have a screeching noise from the distributor, you should fix that problem - Noise could be bushing in distributor being bad, the loose shaft can cause strange side effects. A new distributor is not a bad investment either, better spark distribution means better ignition.

I ran a 14.2 something at the track cant remember the mph. It was 80+ degrees w/ high humidity, bad track conditions, bad heat soak in engine bay, less than a 1/4 tank of gas, and Im not 100% sure but someone told me that the ecm limits boost when you start the truck but I have an ATR pitbull chip. Anyone know if thats true?? ( I didnt pay attention to the boost gauge). ANd I hadnt done any tune up

Not familiar with the pitbull chip but put some gas in the tank (1/2 or better), find some better conditions and I'll bet you can pull nearly a second off that. Course if you're like me it helps if you know how to launch consistently.

Re: Ty wont start!!!

I can launch consistent at the street but the track was a diff story. I was distracted due to the fast light I didnt have enough time to stage. I didnt know at the time that I was starving the truck of fuel with less than a 1/4. My next plans are to have jwaller do a 57mm turbo upgrade, ultimate chip (if I can find one), and work out some cooling issues over the winter any other suggestions

Re: Ty wont start!!!

Where can I get a new dist. ? I figure maybe I should upgrade while Im at it. Anyone have any preference,price, part #'s etc?? Will I stil be able to use the dist cap and rotor I just put in or black beauty wires or do I have to change all of that?
