Hey all,
Got a 1996 K1500 with the 4.3L engine and the 5 speed in it. Truck sat for awhile and it got it going again, kind of a rolling project. My biggest issue right now is this thing going on with my ignition.
So I can turn the key forward it unlocks the steering wheel and I get power to everything and hear the fuel pump kick on too. Going further forward to start it usually doesn’t start unless I turn the ignition cylinder back and forth like 50 times then I hit the sweet spot and the starter will engage and the truck will fire right up. I changed the ignition cylinder already and that changed nothing and this problem is getting worse the longer I drive it. I also have tried starting it with a screw driver with the cylinder out and that doesn’t work either. What can this be?
I am about ready to rig up a push button for the starter since it seems like everything else works.
