help...ive got 5.9 just finshed replaced the plenum gasket and intake gaskets put it all back together and now it wont start. engine spins but wont fire up. any ideas??!!

 

check to make sure all the distributor cable are on nice and tight, and that the cable are going to the correct cylinders, make sure the coil is firing, make sure all the grounds are good, and that the fuel injectors are plugged in nice and tight, and that all the sensors going to the tb/air intake are on tight

basically double check everything you did to make sure its correct.

 

thanks ill go check for the fifth time!!!how do i check the coil??

 

Look to see if it is sparking by taking off the coil wire from the top of the distributor and placing in next to ground and have someone turn over the motor.

If it sparks replace the coil wire and remove the #1 spark plug (front drivers side) and by using the crank marks on the block and crank shaft bring it to Top Dead Center. Ensure that the piston is at TDC by placing a screw driver down the spark plug hole and see if the pistion is all the way up, if not you need to turn it one more time (you can also use a flash light). Now pop the cap off your distributor and ensure your rotor is at #1 on the cap and that contact is at #1 spark plug wire.

Next see if #1 plug wire fires at the plug. Turn by hand the motor and see if it sparks when the motor is at TDC. If everything is operating as it should and the wires are NOT crossed then look into fuel.

 

Cam sensor check the wires in the back of th distributer to the harness on the driver side of the engine wires too?

 

thanks yall got it going had a bad rotor. i think i broke the tab off when prying up the manifold. running nice and strong now gotta love the 360
