So today, (this morning) I went out to good ole Diasy. She’s a 99 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the L29 454 (Gen VI) rwd everything is all original.
When I put the key in the ignition and put it on acc, everything works fine when I go to start it, it cranks over a few times doesn’t start.
Try a second time it starts but the rpm’s jump up to 1k fires about 1 full cycle (all pistons firing) and just dies.
Try a third time, it doesn’t want to crank but tries to start held the key about 3-5 seconds. Doesn’t start
Try for a fourth try, put a little throttle into it ram rough when first started until it leveled out on the Rpm’s and it’s perfectly fine.
It’s like every day or every other day it will fire up on the first try other times it takes about 2-5 times for it to start and crank up.
I’ve replaced the oil pressure switch (whole truck died when it happened)
Replaced the rotor and cap
Replaced the oil after the pressure switch went out
I’m just stuck and not 100% sure of what’s the main issue for it not starting the first time
Any help would be greatly appreciated
