Well apparently the dizzy needed to be 'turned' as in clockwise or counter clockwise and now it runs fine. Guess on the bright side I learned another vehicle type to stay away from lol Thanks for all the help! I give a huge thanks to you all!!

I couldn't do jack crap. I had vital things I needed to get done here that I have been slacking on for a while. For some reason I doubt turning the dizzy is going to do anything. If the timing is set by a scanner, I'm way out of my league now and it's into someone else's hands as I: 1. don't...

I forgot to mention that I did that to ensure mechanical timing is right-on, but the bumping sounds coming from the intake...this is so annoying! Will the ecu try to advance spark to initially start when cold? I have to get a laundry list of things to try out as I don't get enough time after...

dunno if you saw, but I removed the ECM fuses and it cranked over perfect. Like nothing was wrong. During cranking, I reinstalled the fuse and it did the same thing. We've wrecked the battery, but that isn't hard to understand cause all the taking power, but not giving power back lol oops.

Mine won't stay running if you let off the throttle. It also started without jumper cables once, but that was over half throttle (like it has a carb) and just one time only. It'll prolly start everytime with jumper cables and throttle opened up, but it still won't idle under 2000 rpm (sounds...

Well if it were me, I would've put the new spider injection kit on and know it is NOT the problem, but it isn't mine and the owner chose not to use it. It is $220 after $100 core and I put the whole thing back together :(:(:(:(:( This damn thing keeps pushing me around to timing, electrical...

Not entirely sure on the plug wires being correct. Nobody took them off and when I took them off, they went in the same as they were before. Well I don't have a scanner, so he'll have to bring his friend that has the scanner back over and see how it goes after that.

1999hoe, thats why I drive toyota. that blazer isnt the only broke-ass car that is a money pit. lol mygreen, Timing is set by a scanner??? This is very new info to me. Is this a regular obd2 scanner that can do this?

He moved here about a year ago from philly...i wish warranty would cover something! Well unfortunate events have taken place today and ruined the whole day for working on a couple GMs' that have died. Nick's tahoe and the mom's blazer. ACK!!! So someone came by his place today and put the...

There wasn't anything like a race, just hopping a 3"-4" curb. Could that knock the timing chain out of whack? We replaced the dizzy due to the cap screw hole being broken off. I looked in there and it can be 180° off or right on. Can a simple adjustment (slight turn) fix it? I tried that...

I have no idea what to search for, so here goes. This is an ongoing problem and we're at a loss for words and a shop is out of the question. A friend of mine has a 98 Tahoe with literally 10k miles on a crate engine and it won't start. It sounds like it really really really wants to...

Thing is this one doesn't start. It will only kill the battery. It did start for about 2 seconds when I first arrived, but I cannot explain that and it didn't sound that great. Like an abnormally low idle. Who knows...thats another problem to be resolved at a later time. It's like extra...

Oh yea, it's a 98 tahoe...forgot to mention that. I did pull the dizzy, but I did the same on my dad's 97 silverado since we busted the dumb plastic ear for the dizzy cap screw and didn't use a tool on it. So the starter can be loading up so bad, it'll make me think other things are going...

So the story goes: Christmas Eve - He was not paying attention and ran over an island crosswalk curb. About 3" tall. Didn't catch air as he was doing 30 (or so) mph. Didn't scrape anything, didn't cut or puncture anything.....just went over a curb. A week later - Turns the key and the...
