Re: sonoma issues

Is the spark getting to all spark plugs?
Dist rotor turning when cranking?

Will it start with a shot of carb cleaner?

If so you have a fuel delivery problem.
Fuel pressure or injector pulse.

Any check engine lights or codes or security lights staying on?

Are the spark plugs wet or dry on the ends?

Are plugs wet or dry on ends after cranking.

What is cold cranking fuel pressure?
Should be up to 64-65 lbs.

Any codes or security lights on?
Good Injcctor pulse?
Remote starts or aftertmarket alarm systems?

Re: sonoma issues

I missed on fuel pressure it is 65/62 lbs.
Put a gauge on it and drive it 30 minutes and watch feel pressure.
post bback raedings.

Plugs good and AC delco?
Good hot blue spark to all plugs?

What is the camshaft retard readings?
MAF sensor good?
Try cleaning it with some sensor cleaner.

Good AC delco plugs?
You need a engine capable scanner to check camshaft retard setting.
It should be 0 or +1 0r -1 degrees.
