91 s-10 won't start

itlrose · #1 10-12-2004, 05:36 PM

My 91 s-10 went in the shop because it was stalling out at low speeds, & when I switched gears unless I kept my foot on the gas. First they said it was a radiator leak, so they fixed that. Then it was the knock sensor. Then it was the wiring harness. They couldn't find a wiring harness so they repaired it. Then it was supposed to be the fuel pump. Now the damn thing will not start. They say there is no power to the A6 wire?

Someone help!

Go to a different mechanic for god's sake.

They are complete morons and a radiator does not cause an engine to stall.

Go to another mechanic ASAP!

Also, do a tuneup with the following:

New Fuel Filter
New Cap & Rotor
New AC Delco Spark plugs gapped properly
New Air filter.

It is probably a good idea to report that garage to AAA, and the Better Business Bureo

Have you had the truck properly timed?

Remember, you have to disconnect the timing wire from the PCM to set the timing properly.

No, it is at top dead center.

BlazerLT · #9 10-18-2004, 10:13 PM

So you haven't timed it properly with a timing gun?

itlrose · #10 10-18-2004, 10:18 PM

no the guy set it top dead center. it will not start to time it with a gun

BlazerLT · #11 10-18-2004, 10:24 PM

So the pump has been replaced?

itlrose · #12 10-18-2004, 10:25 PM

the fuel pump yes

BlazerLT · #13 10-18-2004, 10:29 PM

Have you checked for spark going to all of the cylinders and check for the injectors firing fuel into the intake?

itlrose · #14 10-18-2004, 10:30 PM

all have spark & there is fuel to the intake

BlazerLT · #15 10-18-2004, 10:36 PM

Then it is a timing problem.

Check the oil for excess fuel in it and have them check the timing with a timing light with the timing wire disconnected from the PCM under the glove bos.

It is a beige and brown wire.
