I parked the Turkey Hearse and let it sit for 3 months before getting back to it. It will "almost" start. I replaced the plugs, wires, and fuel filter, at 400K miles it just needed to be done. Still won't start. It was running fine when I parked it, No codes on OBDII. Has fire, but won't start with gas or starting fluid in intake either.

 

What year and what engine?

Did you check all the fuses? How did you check fer spark? Did you make sure all yer grounds are good? Snap some piccies of the engine bay and post them up...

If you have the 5vz-fe engine (V6), when was the last time you changed the timing belt? Did you inspect to make sure it was still in time?

Did you check to make sure the fuel pump is working?

Did you inspect the wiring harness? Hopefully you didn't git any vermin that might've taken a shine to yer harness while it was parked. Check the ECU located on the passenger's side. Fuel relay (circuit opening relay) is located on the passenger side kick panel.

 

95 T100 V6, 4x4, auto. Got fire, and fuel pump working. I'm going to check timing and belt this afternoon. After reading other posts, I'm going to check the fuel pump pressure. Fuel pump is pumping, it just may not be enough. I'll let yall know what happens! Thanks!

 

Checking the timing belt was excellent advice. I took out 4 cover bolts to look inside and the timing belt was messed up! I open it all up, turned over the engine and the water pump was frozen up and the belt was being shreaded. I do not think it jumped time, water pump on order and new belt in hand. The pic will give you an idea of how bad it was. The last belt was put on at 367000 miles, it is at 407000 now.

 

Photo of top end. debris from belt piled up on crankshaft gear and had to be scraped out.

 

Change the idler pulleys, tensioner and thermostat while you are in there. Also, check the cam and crank seals for seepage.

Have you done this job before on this engine?

 

This is the 4th belt and water pully, idler, tensioner on this vehicle. I just ordered me one of the tensioner tools, i'm tired of fighting that tensioner. I replaced all the oil seals at the 367000 mile replacement. Thanks! Every other place oil could leak from is leaking though. It sure surprised me that the water pump was frozen up, I guess I'm kinda glad it didn't start!
