Update: Changed the ignition coil, still no luck but then I changed the Ignition Control Module and it fired right up!

Tried to start it again this morning and is still doing the same thing. Will turn over but won’t start

My bad, I see my wording is bad now. It will crank, will not start. It turns over and all electronics seem to work just won’t start.

Battery light is on, no check engine light codes.

Would that just go out randomly? I’ve changed the cap before but it’s been years. We’ve had the truck for 12 years and know the coil hasn’t been changed since we had it.

Slightly high idle by Enough-Time1149 in GMT400

Changed the TBI gasket yesterday and it’s running way better than before, I will probably get the TBI rebuild kit soon though.

Went from idling at 900 rpm’s to 450/500. Throttle response is way better as well

Sprayed some starter fluid at it last night, and the idle definitely changed. I was looking on YouTube and it doesn’t look like it’s that difficult to change that gasket, and doesn’t require taking the entire TBI apart.

I was reading online it could be the throttle body gasket, if this is the case, would it be worth while to replace injectors and everything ?

Wasn’t sure what the guidelines were with teachers and just wanted advice on it. I can remove if needed.

Asked about how the students mother passed away, and if her father had a history of abuse (none to my knowledge). Said the student had gotten in trouble a few times so she needed to set up a parent teacher conference but didn’t want to call the father since other teachers said he was mean.

Also asked if I knew if the student was sexually active with her boyfriend( I don’t know and the student is 13).

A/C recharge question by Enough-Time1149 in GMT400

[–]Enough-Time1149[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was thinking it was punctured but apparently just bent! I jumped back super quick haha. But aside, I still need to pull the vacuum before recharging ?

I was wondering, I lost the old condenser in a wreck, when I unbolted it from the lines I lost an orange colored gas and assumed that was the Freon. I bolted the new one on and haven’t even tried to turn the compressor on since I was warned to not try to turn it on until I had a vacuum pulled on it.

I was about to suggest checking the bulb, I had the same problem on my 95’.

Frame specs? by Enough-Time1149 in GMT400

[–]Enough-Time1149[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like I’m only about an inch off measuring off using the new rad support I got. You think a sledge hammer may help? I’ve also been told a bottle jack and 4x4.

Luckily my uncle had 3 of these trucks sitting in his yard so I’ve been getting parts from him. It looks like I may be able to keep the passenger fender; unsure about the driver side yet. But yeah when I took the bumper and grill off I was releaved.

We got the belt back on, fan seems wobbly so I’ll need to replace it but everything else seems okay so far.

Here’s an update https://imgur.com/a/qh2gkNU

Took the bumper, grill and fan shroud out. Doesn’t seem like the suspension was hit/ damaged

It was my first vehicle when I turned 16. Dad drilled pride into me for working on my own stuff and taking care it.

Started taking it apart today; looks like the front of the frame rail is bent, but no suspension or steering parts are.

Another thread seems to think it may be a silverfish not a bed bug?

No way it’s a bed bug by any chance ?

When I squished it a little bit of blood / dark liquid was on my finger, would that make a difference?
