1997 Chevy Suburban engine want turn over

It does not crank?

Or

It does crank and does not start?

"Crank" meaning the engine is spinning over but not starting.

all the parts changing did you check for spark
do a spark test and check if the injector pulse
check TPS volts make sure its not in flood mode

IT CRANKS BUT DOESN'T START.

yes' i'm getting sparks from the number 1 and 8 spark plug

did you try to spray starting fluid
check TPS volts

yesssir , I tried the starter fluid. what is TPS VOLT

did it start with starting fluid

tps :
throttle position sensor

NO SIRRRRRRRRRRRR

firing order ?

firing order , what do you mean by that.

i sent the picture with it for the firing order
i noticed also you send that you have spark @ 1 and 8
what about the rest do u have spark
on all

spark

I had included the firing order may be you want to check that


also we had problem with coils and distributor cap we replace them all the time on that engine
may be you should check that too

okay thanks for the feedback. i will look into tomorrow when i get home. i'm think he didn't put the wires on correct now. but i did replaced the dist.cap and pick up coil already. i'm thinkin he just put the plug wires on wrong.but if he didn't beside the TPS , what else can I look at.

check / replace the coil
not the pick up coil
its the black thing on the picture

I took it today to auto zone and the gentleman check it for me. he said it look like it was good , but I bought a new one anyways.just didn't have time to put it on. after i check the wires tomorrow i , replace the coil.

also , I remember last week..when I pulled up to a red light or stop sign I noticed on my gauges , the oil pressure and battery gauges would drop off.then when I started to move again they would rise up.on friday night comin from fishing at one stop when I came to a intersection the batter gauge drop dwon so much that all my light when dim. then the next day I start havin this issue with my truck. could this have something to do with they way my truck is actin.i had the alternator check and it passed several times

check the coil and the firing order

i replaced the coil and i had two wires in wrong .the number 2 and 4 wasn't in the correct firin order and I found out the number 8 wasn't all the way on. i had it towed to a shop today and the dude told me it was the feul pump went out. after I sprayed the starter fluid in it .it never started , so could the fuel pump be out or is he tryin to pull as fast on on me

you said that the fuel pump was checked and you had pressure
well did they check the pressure and what it you have for pressure ??/

it is very possible that the fuel pressure is low

i don't know , but when he unscrewded the cap off the line when after he checked the pressure fuel was still comin out. the only reason why i;m concered , is when I told him about the code that was pulled up P1351 , he said he could get any codes b/c the car want run and without it runnin he can't confirm that code. i told him about me pourin gas in the body and the startin fluid he just laughed and said it the feul pump.

Well with out fuel pressure it will NOT run you need pressure
and

where did you put the starting fluid

did he tell you what was the fuel pressure
and #
as for the codes your ECM save the codes
you can get them whether the its running or not
as long as you get the truck running let him do it
get price $$$$

I sprayed some startin fluid in the throttle body and it never made my truck run.we also put gas in their also and it never made the truck run. the pressure readin was 30. the price he game me was 186 for all the parts and 300 for labor. for towing and dignostic it all come down to 650

Fuel pressure should be 55-61 PSI
as for the price it far
good luck

oaky...thanks for all the help... :D

let me know when you pick it up

i have one more question, well I'm going to pick up my truck and repair it my self. my question is when after I replace all those ignition parts , I did another check on my spark plugs. i still have red spark. should i have a blue spark or am I just stressed out behind this issue

1st thinks 1st you need the truck to start /run
and after that you can check the spark quality
and replace coil if you wish

okay , I just put on the fuel pump, filter and my truck is still doing the same thing.could the computer or chip be fried. what else it for me to do.even when i put on the timin chain could it still be off timin..i've changed the hot wire from the battery to the computer and all the coils.

OK
lets take a step back
and start form the basic
redo check the basic
check for a good spark
check fuel pressure
and check for water in the fuel system check injector pulse
if you have all three then check compression
don’t overlook something u think it was tested do
check it again
let me know

okay , right now I'm at work so I will keep you updated. injectore pulse and compression where do I look for that..

Compression is done by removing a spark plug and using a compression gauge
crank engine
injector pulse remove injector connector and you can use a light bulb # 194
band the wire end on the bulb to fit in the wiring plug and crank engine watch for it to flash
check fuel pressure too
get a sample of the fuel and test it

okay , i will try it..but as for as the fuel goes , I emptied out my tank when I replace the fuel pump.i can go to auto zone and buy a compression gauge, where is the injectore connector located..should i by a fuel relay..thats the only thing i didn't replace.

good u empty the fuel out

Lets make sure u have a good spark
injectors are under the upper intake manifold
(the plastic plenum .)
lets clear the coil out the way
we had so many problems with them coils and cap + rotor
lets start at the spark and make sure we have a good and strong spark

fuel pump relay
if the fuel pump working when 1st key on then relay should be ok
