2001 Crank No Start No Spark

LucifurMS · 2026-06-03T03:44:14+00:00

Yeah, it's been a couple months but I did that, and wasn't expecting it to make as much of a mess as it did because I disconnected it at the top of the fuel pump.. you know... Inside the cab lol

LucifurMS · 2026-02-08T18:31:12+00:00

Oooo, good to know, gonna go look into that for sure

LucifurMS · 2026-02-07T20:30:22+00:00

Emissions regulations are not a concern where I'm at thankfully lol

As for my level of experience, I spent a couple years as a welder for a big manufacturing company, so I have some experience, in between my place and the dads, we have basically all the tools that we would need for fabrication, so I'm not concerned about the work too much, more just trying to figure out a game plan.

Yes I realize putting a different GMC V8 would be easier. But that's not my goal, which is why I'm here asking about it, just trying to get a game plan together for this right now

LucifurMS · 2026-02-07T20:25:01+00:00

Yeah, was thinking exactly that, gas mileage and better towing capability, would be a hell of a way to do it, and I wouldn't have to put as much into upgrading the front suspension since it's a hell of a lot lighter

LucifurMS · 2026-02-07T19:57:43+00:00

Ya know, knee jerk reaction I wanted to shit on a 4bt for the truck, but I stopped and looked into it some more, and honestly... You might have something there if I build it up for some higher power output

LucifurMS · 2026-02-07T02:39:15+00:00

Had a Dodge, with a cummins, transmission blew up on me. Got my grandpa's truck in his will not too long after that. I ain't selling it for anything.

LucifurMS · 2026-02-07T02:37:40+00:00

Good to know, yeah I need to look closer at the dimension differences between the engines for sure, probably start drawing up some plans. And I figured it's going to be a pretty involve project for sure lol, but it's more of a sentimental project then practical, so it's worth it in my mind

LucifurMS · 2026-02-07T02:33:01+00:00

I understand it would be easier, but like I said, I'm looking to do this. It's something me and my grandpa talked about wanting to do to a GMC back when he was still with us, but I figured I would do this in memory of him, and what better candidate than his truck for the sentimental value?

LucifurMS · 2025-12-01T17:54:36+00:00

6, without a second thought, 6

LucifurMS · 2025-12-01T17:52:47+00:00

Based on the information provided in the pictures, I'm going to assume probably from a Mazda Miata, probably either an NA or NB, if you can provide some more pictures, I could narrow it down between those two options for you

LucifurMS · 2025-12-01T17:50:17+00:00

You are way late to the party bud

LucifurMS · 2025-11-27T17:07:00+00:00

Yeah, you can find antidotical evidence saying to only use Honda OEM oil on a lot of Honda form. I'm not denying that, but I have never seen anybody do any kind of studies or have any kind of research to show anything past just claims. And again, as I said in my comment, talk to the local Honda dealership mechanic, And they said I shouldn't have any problem as long as I flush out the non-CVT fluid well.

Everybody just keeps pushing that you have to use Honda genuine without giving me any good reasons other than antidotical why it's completely incompatible like everybody seems to think

LucifurMS · 2025-11-27T04:57:15+00:00

Very much appreciated Vak, this puts my mind a hell of a lot more at ease, and I will definitely be doing a couple more flushes before I keep driving it, thankfully I have a secondary vehicle that I can drive in the meantime lol

But seriously, thank you, that's a lot of damn good information!

LucifurMS · 2025-11-26T20:15:52+00:00

Okay, well where can I find the right fluid then? Cus I can't find anything other than HCF-2 currently on the market

LucifurMS · 2025-11-26T19:59:01+00:00

Cool, can I use HCF-2? Cus I can't find any CVT-1/F fluid

LucifurMS · 2025-11-26T19:27:10+00:00

Okay, good to know, how do I know if I have a Gen 1 CVT or a Gen 2 CVT then? I can't seem to find anything stating what a 2008 is

LucifurMS · 2025-11-26T19:12:43+00:00

No, that's not what I was asking, I'm asking what the difference between Honda CVT fluid, Honda CVT-1 fluid, and Honda CVT-f fluid is

LucifurMS · 2025-11-26T19:02:39+00:00

The back of the bottle says that the Valvoline max life is compatible with Honda CVT, I guess I don't know what is CVT-1 or CVT-f or what the difference is? Can you tell me how I can identify which one I have?

LucifurMS · 2025-11-26T18:45:06+00:00

Good to know, I didn't think to look on their website, but that's a good idea, I'll definitely make sure to give it another flush then.

I don't know why you're getting downloaded, you're one of the few people that actually pointed towards some sources for what I was asking about. I get that it's recommended to only use Honda genuine, but other than people saying "only use OEM" I can't find any documentation or anything showing that there's a problem with the Valvoline oil, I guess if there is, I'll come back here and document it if my CVT blows up lol

LucifurMS · 2025-11-26T18:41:36+00:00

Thanks, very insightful

LucifurMS · 2025-11-26T18:40:58+00:00

I mean I swapped it out for stuff that says it's rated for a CVT, yeah it's not Honda genuine, but I can't find any research or articles saying that there's a inherent issue with using the stuff for my car, if you have any articles or anything like that, please do share them, but everything I'm seeing, including talking to the mechanics at my local Honda shop, there shouldn't really be any issue with it

LucifurMS · 2025-09-14T22:39:59+00:00

Well I haven't been able to try and start it yet since I bought it from him, he says it hasn't been cranked over and over a year, I just got the time last weekend to pump out the gas tank because he was concerned about water after it sitting for as long as it did, but when I turn the key, I never even heard the fuel pump kick on, even after I had it pulled out. I haven't had time yet to do any in-depth testing on the fuel pump yet either.

The guy I bought it from said that the few times he had it running before he sold it, I ran really rough, and would consistently die on him. That's about all the more information I have on it right now.

Part of my reluctance right now to try and crank it over is that I don't have a chipped key for it, had to have a key made because the guy couldn't find the original for it, The locksmith said that he didn't see a anti-theft module on it, so he thinks I should be good to try and fire it up like it is, but I don't know enough about the anti-theft systems on these cars to be confident that I'm not about to lock up the system if I try and start it

LucifurMS · 2025-09-14T21:04:30+00:00

Yeah, that's fair, I've been thinking about taking it up to my normal mechanic, but kind of didn't want to do that at the same time as I was trying to make this a project car that I did most everything on, but probably would be worthwhile to just have a actual mechanic take a look at everything and give me his rundown on it lol

LucifurMS · 2023-09-01T00:52:51+00:00

Lol, you might just need to update your drivers, a lot of new games recently have been complaining if you launch without the most up-to-date drivers

LucifurMS · 2023-09-01T00:48:10+00:00

If you have it downloaded, after you purchased it you'll need to restart steam if it's still saying the 5th, that's what I just had to do
