need some help

[ZephyrMotorspor]

hey guys, haven't been on the forum for a while but I'm still having the same starting problems. I still have to start the motor EVERYtime on ether, and a few days ago i went thru my IAC with carb cleaner and ear swabs, so i was wondering if anybody had any ideas?

doesnt sound like its getting fuel when you turn the key. do you hear the fuel pump priming? how does it run once its started? what do your plugs look like?

 

[ZephyrMotorspor]

plugs are brand new, fuel pump primes fine, runs beautifully once started.

 

[dragnazz5.0]

do you have a fuel pressure gauge? maybe its leaking down fuel pressure

 

[ZephyrMotorspor]

ya i do. its connected to the schrader valve with like a 3 foot steel braided line but its not leaking

What happens if you cycle the key a few times before attempting to start it? This will allow the pump to repeatedly prime before it cranks for the first time.

Codes?

Good luck.

hey hissin. how can i read my codes? what do i need? I just need this to get by until i convert it to carb , but i just need to stop starting on ether cuz i know it can't be good for the block.

hey hissin i just tried cycling the ignition a few times and it doesn't work

I would search Jrichker's posts for his code dumping links.

If you have a grey TFI, I might make sure you have power to the appropriate terminal while cranking. See this diagram for more detail.

I might also put a noid light on an injector while cranking and see if it blinks at you.

I'm sure Jrichker or Tom would have much more precise input.

Good luck.
