    No crank,no start 95 5.7tbi

    Could still be the ignition switch, or if the key is not turning far enough the tumbler. Will it crank when jumping the starter with a screwdriver, or since it’s a manual have you tried bump starting it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    No crank,no start 95 5.7tbi

    Main positive from the battery to the starter could be corroded and bad or a bad ignition switch. I would turn the key to on and manually jump the starter. If it starts then the switch is the problem, if it won’t crank then the battery cable or one of the grounds is bad. Just replaced the...

    89 suzuki sidekick 1.6L no electrical power

    If you saw corrosion inside the wire more than likely it has spread. Short term you can pull the wires and measure them and get generic replacements at any auto parts store, just pay attention and get the ones with the proper battery terminal ends. Those should handle factory load just fine on...

    89 suzuki sidekick 1.6L no electrical power

    I had a 97 Suzuki swift and a 99 metro (rebadged Suzuki) and both of them had this issue. Turned out it was the battery cables corroded and rotten inside the sheathing. If the cables are not new don’t trust them just because the ends look good. If you have replaced them then idk was my best...

    Ethanol vs Non-Ethanol Gas

    My truck seems to do just fine with normal ethanol blend, no place to get non ethanol in my area so haven’t tested it. My daily driver Kia on the other hand, 1400 mile road trip this past spring I made an oops getting fuel in Oklahoma and got “straight gas”. Worst mileage I have ever gotten in...

    New (reman) Throttle Body. Won't run and backfires like a bad timing chain. FIXED!

    That’s what I love about the TBI system personally. Enough computer to keep it reliable but can still work on it in the driveway without a PHD. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fuel Pump will not prime - 1990 5.7 Chevy Sport

    Fuel pump has its own fuse on the passenger side of the firewall next to the fuel pump relay. Check that, if the fuse is good could be a bad relay. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Are TBI 350’s just this sluggish?

    My 90 C1500 RCLB 5.7 TBI with almost 300k on the clock was that way when I first brought it back from Washington. After a new EGR valve and intake manifold gasket along with a TBI rebuild she’s a beast off the line and at low to mid range revs but kinda gutless on the top end. I second the...

    Issue with tail lights

    Second that, most likely bad ground or badly corroded sockets in one or both taillights. Corrosion can make current go all sorts of odd places. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thoughts on problems with other car

    That was my thinking. Tow truck back home from the middle of nowhere would be much more expensive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
