Help...Won't Start!!

[ltnate3]

Drove it all week no problems. Came out of store today and now it won't start. It cranks and barely turns over. Sounds like it's flooded or not getting gas at all. Put gas in it just in case it was out but it's not. Tried about an hour later, it starts but immediately dies or gargles and dies. I haven't pulled any codes. Any ideas?

TPS, IAC, Cam or crank sensor ?

I'm sure someone smart will chime in but is it RC or QC? what year?

 

[hwmech]

is the little red light flashing next to the temp gauge?

Battery? I know it sounds too simple but our computers like to see 12+ volts and it needs to have 13+ to charge good.

Battery is fully charged...just sounds like it's flooded or something

Can you start it and use the throttle to keep it running or will it still die?

I bet its that damn IAC valve. I wish someone would make a delete kit for that p.o.s.

Just cleaned mine yesterday, It was filthy.

Where is that...is it right next/below the TPS? I just changed the TPS and Fuel Pump relay. It cranks but will not turn over even if I give it gas.

Yea, its right near the TPS. Goes into your intake manifold. Unscrew it and pull it out, there will be a plunger that restricts idle air flow and a lot of times it gets stuck. Remove it and clean it. Be easy with it, I broke mine trying to force it to go back in. The plunger itself goes in and out, so if its stuck just spray whatever you got to loosen it, I used carb cleaner and a little bit of WD40. Hope thats the problem. Easy fix.

Is it the one taped off in Red? I thought it was the one next to it...

 

[VenomTruck]

Also, just to be sure thats the issue, when you have the IAC valve out of the TB, crank it. I bet it starts right up.

Its the sensor right behind the red tape.

 

[VenomTruck]

Yea my bad I got that backwards, the IAC valve is in the intake manifold, the TPS is in the TB. My bad.

 

[ltnate3]

Its the sensor right behind the red tape.

Thanks...I'm gonna pull that right now and soak it!

Ok pulled the IAC and tried to start it but no luck. I did get the P0505 code though.

That code is for the IAC. Did you try starting to truck with it unplugged? Or turn the key off with it un plugged?
