well I went to replace my leaking radiator and that went oknow got the new one in I took out the afm to make sure I didn't get anti freeze on it I buttoned it all back together to start it and it started and stalled then when I went to start it again there where no lights on on the dash and it wouldn't roll over I looked under the hood and the afm plug wasnt plugged in I plugged it back in and still nothing I un plugged the battery and I havent tried it since is there a fuse I maybe blew or is my ignition toast any help is greatly appreciated

 

Bump anything to check would be really helpful I've checked the battery and the wire extensions so far

 

I have changed countless radiators.

Why would you think you would get coolant on the afm.You don`t think water gets in there when you drive through a puddle that is just below the doors.

The very first thing you do is drain the coolant

If it does not crank look at your battery terminals then check your grounds.

Was anything sparking or arcing any where.

even if the AFM plug is out it should still crank.

if the plug is not in correct it might not turn on the fuel pump. Maybe you bent some pins on the plug

 

If everything is dead, check the battery and battery terminals, if that`s good, check the wire from the battery to the fuse box, its known to break, and also check the 80 amp main fuse.

 

Ok I'll check the terminals again and the main fuse I just didn't know what one it was so ilk check it when I get time

 

Oh and I was switching to aluminum 90° intake elbow so I took it out

 

x2 on checking all your grounds,i had a heck of a time with a starter issue in my old jeep one day because the ground from the engine block to the chassis was loose/corroded.

 

Does the motor have to be grounded i removed the one to the block when I did the intake battery swap now all that's grounded is the fender

 

Yes, you want a SOLID (read - heavy duty, not solid wire) ground between the engine and chassis.

If you removed the engine ground, then you have mostly isolated the engine from the chassis and battery.

 

ok im gunna get that hooked up tonight ill see how it goes i guess the fuse is still good im hoping its just the ground

 

Got it rewired new grounds and it started up and ran like a champ thanks for the help guys

 

Glad you could get it figured out!
