This week end I have change the intake manifold gasket. I have inspect and replace all parts in place. All parts is good conditions and when I start the truck, He run like a new. Except at one time he run badly and has blakc smoke at the tail pipie so I have found that I have miss to plug the map sensor behind the TBI. I have plug it and he run fine. The real problem is that I can start my truck for 2-4 times with my key. But when I try another time, I turn my key and ntohing appen. Starter dosent do anything. Battery is fully charge and all electronic component seems to work fine. If I unplug and replug my battery, I can start up again until it fails after a couple start and stop. What is strange, when I cannot crank the engine by the key, I can do it with my remote start. It start and stop everytime.
I have also remark that the batterie gauge in the clauster doesbnt show a good voltage on the batterie. Ihave check my batterie with a voltmeter, and I have always 12V.
Is it a problem with the ignition starter? A bad ground because I had to unplug and replug two ground wire. Or something else?
I am not very sure, but I think my truck is equipped with a antitheft. I have found a little switch and a little red LED that flashes behind the dash.... I have tried to turn off and on that swithc but that doesent change anything to my starter problem.
Thanks guy!
