Hey guys! I have a 2K1 Silverado with a 4.3 that doesn't want to start. I have pulled a plug wire and it's getting spark. I can smell gas at the exhaust pipe and I've checked all the fuses. I can hear the fuel pump kick on but nothing seems to work. The engine will crank forever yet no start. I hope you can help.
Thanks,
Rick

Hoffman like I told john Are yall sure its getting gas? Can you hear the fuel pump kick on. If not then check the fuel pump relay. When yall try to start the truck does it just crank or does it sound like its trying to start but just wont? Like i told john the only things that wont let it start is fuel and spark if it has both and still wont start then it has to be timing, but the truck on has 60 thousand on it so i seriously doubt its timing. Have yall check all the plug wires to make sure every cylinder is getting spark? I'm thinking its fuel related or maybe moisture got in the cap and its not letting all the cylinders fire. Check it out and if you got any other ?'s have john call me or just email me at [email protected]
