    1991 350 no crank

    Compressor for the AC may have seized. Pull the belt and see if it will crank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    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

    Lol I have done it but don’t exactly remember the steps, search for IAC relearn here and it should come up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Did you do the relearn on the IAC? 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

    It is, but apparently motor mounts are not covered under the power train warranty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thoughts on problems with other car

    To those following, got a call from the dealer this morning and they found a broken front motor mount. Says it looks like it’s been broken for a while but the shimmy only started a few hundred miles ago. Maybe it was damaged and the terrible roads and construction in Indy finally snapped it...

    Thoughts on problems with other car

    Hey all, figured this was about the best place to ask since this is about my Kia and not my truck. Have a 2014 optima with 99K on the odometer and while traveling for a funeral a problem popped up. I’m having an intermittent vibration or “shimmy” that I can feel in the floor pan but not in the...

    hitch

    I’m like you with the standard hitch stuff as I don’t tow all that often. Airbags or air shocks however I would certainly recommend. I decided to put Gabriel HiJackers on the rear of my 90 c1500 since they were pretty much the same price as good standard shocks that day. Little more work on the...

    Another TBI running rich

    Valid point. When I rebuilt my TBI it ran like crap so I searched and found the IAC relearn procedure on here and it fixed it. Replacing the IAC does no good if you don’t teach the computer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Strange running habits, need help.

    I’m far from an expert, but to me that video sounds more like an air/fuel problem than it does exhaust. Could still be a malfunction in the EGR but I would personally check and clean the IAC valve and do an IAC relearn before throwing parts at it. I agree that pulling the OBD data stream would...

    Help!!! Shutting off issue

    If it’s cutting fuel flow could be a bad fuel pump relay, loose wire or short somewhere along the fuel pump power wires, or oil pressure sending unit is bad making ECM think it has no oil and shutting down the fuel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    1988 GMC Sierra Air injection?

    NM does not do inspections so unless your in Albuquerque or Santa Fe, or work on on base and need an emissions test no one will ever know you removed it. Thankfuly my 90 does not have one so I have no advice on removing it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Changing the color of heater controls

    I believe that button has its own bulb, leaving it white should keep the red and blue temp bar. I have been thinking about doing this same mod but with red plexiglass since the interior of my truck is all red. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Just wanna tow a 2000lb. Trailer up a hill..

    My 90 with the TBI 350 and an auto has almost 300k on it (probably more than that since the odometer was not working when I got it and I do t know how long it was busted) and after a little work she pulls a 20 foot tandom axle with two 500 4x4 quads on it just fine. If she’s not leaking tons of...
