Ok so heres the deal fellas. When I start cranking it, it will fire 1-2 times and thats it. Only thing I can think of at this point is that since I have been in and out of it hooking up this nitrous system, with the doors open, closed, dome light on an off, is the batt is low. I did kill the batt while trying to start today, it went dead after less then 2 min of cranking on it, at small cranks at a time, so that leads me to think it was low. I had it started last night and left it untouched till today and now no go. Would a low batt cause it not to start. Also I found this ground wire that is unhooked, can't figure where it goes, but has to be close, due to the length. But it did run last night with it un hooked, sooo



So can sombody throw me some idea of what could be going on.
Thanks guys
John

That's what I was going to tell you. It looks like the ground wire that connects to the hood. As far as your no start, do you have a security light on in your message center? Your problem could be in Passkey System (theft deterent). Had that happen to me. If you have two sets of keys, try your extra set. I had to replace the sensor in the steering column on my truck. I had my truck in the garage for a length of time while doing some modifications. It started on initial start-up and I let the truck get to operating temperature. The next day when I went to start the truck it would not fire-up. It would crank but not start. The problem came out of nowhere. Maybe this info can help you out.
Good luck!

Yes indeed they were, since I am still running the 4.8 tune in there it is idling rich as ****, due that I can run it and keep it cleaned out. So when I let it sit there and idle it just loads the plugs up, I guess last nite was all they could take... Thank god it is getting tuned soon...

are you still running stock injectors or did you swap them. if you changed them that is the problem. if you put the stock ones back in it will run way better. if it is running too rich it will wash the cylinders out and you will be in need of a rebuild.
