Cranks but Doesnt Start.....

[BlackBandit]

Where are you at? Maybe someone close could come take a look. Like I said earlier. If you have fuel, air, and spark together at the right time it'll run. You said you have fuel and air and spark so all that's left is to make sure it's happening at the right time.

Im in Colorado Springs, Colorado...... Im station down here at Fort Carson..... Well, thats what has me confuse.. I have everything i need to make Her run, but she just wont.... Do you know where i can find a wire diagram to check everything... even the firing order???? Well thank you for your time.......

Try new set of plugs and a good battery or fully charged one so you have good cranking amps. It just might be that the plugs are so badly fouled out.

The coil pack should be numbered to show what plug each tower goes to. As far as diagrams go, gnttype or vortexbuicks might have something.

Factory spec is .035 but if run more boost we drop it down to .032. Even if you have a new battery put it on a charger, it might be weak form all the cranking.

Keep us posted

WOW!!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!! :biggrin: :biggrin:

Did it start yet, it really sounds like you have the ignition module wired incorrectly. Or plugs mis routed.

I havent had the chance to cranck it.. My starter blew out on me when i was trying to trouble shoot it... so now i have to order a new one and wait till it arrives.....

Hey make sure that your oil is not diluted with gas from all the cranking. Pull the dipstick out and smell it. If it smells like gas then change it. I have seen/heard people loosing motors due to too much gas wash down from cranking to figure out the problem .
