Hi all,
I had an issue crop up with my '95 c1500 350tbi over the weekend and I have exhausted my diagnostic abilities. I have also read up on the forum to try to figure this out but am at a loss.
The sequence of events:
-Pulled the truck out of the garage Saturday, it gave some grief starting. Had to hold the throttle down slightly to maintain a smooth idle. More pressing issues at the time, so did not investigate promptly.
-Turned the truck off.
-Attempted to start the truck the next day, no dice.
-checked the voltage at the fuel pump harness, pump has 11v with the key on. Good spray from the injectors when cranking.
-Put 20 litres of fresh gas in the tank, which was reading at just below 1/4.
-checked spark by pulling #1 and #3 plugs, good arc across the gap. Measured the gap at .035 as per my manual. Plug is carbon fouled, but nothing extreme.
-checked timing, the distributor rotor + cap are set correctly and match when #1 is at TDC.
-Cap, rotor, plug wires, fuel pump, spark plugs, starter, ignition coil, all less than 2 years old and with less than 10km on them.
-No scan tool to read obd1 data on hand, and no codes showing with the jumper wire/CEL.
At this point, I've checked everything I know how to check. Are there any potential culprits I've overlooked?
Thank you for your help!
