Iv got an 88 pickup v6 and i have been workin on puttin it bakc together from my wreck.. the truck has been runnin great and last night i pulled the battery out and unhooked the wireing on the passenger fender wheel well. so i could weld a new one in. iv hooked everyting back up and now the truck rollls over and wont fire up.. iv checked spark and jumped the fuel pump to see if it would start and i wont.. idk what to check. now

 

Do you have fuel though? Just because you jumped the pump does not mean your getting fuel. Pull the cold start valve and see if you have fuel. Dump a wee bit of fuel in the intake through a vacuum line and see if she hits at all.

 

i loosend the cold start bolt and i got hit with a light mist of fuel

 

Double check and make sure you got everything back grounded if you replaced sheet metal.

Check engine bay and cab fuse block.

Where r u in Bama?

 

i live in theodore.. thats the thing i dont remember what was grounded.. i grounded everything that was.. my fues block is smashed but i got a new one and i dont want to mess with it cause is mess it up and forget where the stuff goes

 

possible efi problem. Is there any codes? EFI system either not getting power of bad ground. It is getting fuel or not? When ur out it back together did you accidently cross some wires? Is the coolant temp sensor connected and or even there or working? Cold start injector working? Getting fire? sure its not getting fire? gotta trouble shoot more. see if its got fuel or fire. Take a spark plug wire off and see if its arching if not then take the coil wire off and see if its arching if not then possible coil failure. OIL IN ENGINE! timing belt broke? Hows compression?

 

it is gettin spark but no fuel.. i hav a pic of a connecter that i have no clue where it plugs in.. its on the passenger wheel well

 

Test connector.

You need to search on this forum for the links to FSMs and download one. Show you everything you need to put it back together. Whole thread about it.

 

wow your fuse box is all busted up be sure all the wires there are in good connection and grounded. EFI fuse in there? Or blown? Is your fuel pump rely a.k.a (OPEN CURCUIT RELY) connected and or working? Main EFI rely working? Fuel pumping coming on during cranking? Fuel pump wiring connected?
