Replying to: dbouchard (Oct 20, 2006 6:14 pm) Could be sensor or electrical - any codes set the SES ever? I'd look at the electrical connectors, the crank sensor under the front of the engine by the bottom of the timing cover (tells ECM where timing is off the crank), all wiring/cables from the battery are clean and good (do not like low voltage), then other sensors (MAF, temp, O2 etc)but GM should have scanned the sensors and ECM, then a weak coil so plugs are firing but weak. Finally, when was the cap/rotor new and was it Delco and not a cheap aftermarket one - I fought one for several days that was under a year old and was arching in the plastic (can't see internal casting) so several plugs firing at once - changed and all well. Then also look at the vac lines for rot and replace 5/32 and 7/32" all that are bad. The cam sensor in the dist will not cause a no start only rough idle. Then the ign module in the dist fires the coil, but........Sorry, not a simple answer but again suprised GM didn't see anything. Haynes/Chiltons cover testing most of these with a simple multimeter.

replaced plugs, cap, rotor,good spark at coil and at plugs , no codes, starts up when you shoot it with starting fluid, and will stay running ,try to restart and also starts most of the time but when it dont have to reshoot with starting fluid maybee once a week

#10 of 93 97 Jimmy will not build fuel pressure by 97jimmy1 Oct 14, 2006 (1:31 pm)
I have a 97 Jimmy that will not build fuel pressure. If you give it starting fluid it will start and run on the starting fluid but then die when you stop feeding it. No pressure at the rail. Other symptoms I have found are that the oil pressure gauge stopped working (Stuck on 20 PSI). The fuel gauge shows just under full and it only has about 1/4 tank. It will not come out of park. All these things worked fine until the fuel issue. I have changed the fuel filter and found that it was pretty well blocked off. I have read that there is a fuel pump run wire under the hood. Is this true? Where would I find it? Any other way to test the pump? I hate to drop the tank and change it out ($300.00) without knowing its bad. Especially since I have the other symptoms. What other types of fuel shutdown safety/security items are on this vehicle (IE. low oil pressure, inertia shutdown)?

Replying to: 97jimmy1 (Oct 14, 2006 1:31 pm) OK - checked Haynes again and the test wire is red and by the firewall and master cylinder. This bypasses the relay. Check the ECM Bat fuse that powers the relay and switch the fuel pump relay with another thats the same as a test. Also remember that the 97 only has a known ignition switch (actually a module with wiring in the column) failure and it effects most power on the vehicle as it runs thru there when the key is turned.

Replying to: repairdog (Oct 15, 2006 2:53 am) Powered the test wire and the pump works fine. Rotated the relays (the 3 in the glove box) and no change. Checked all of the standard fuses and they were fine. Is the ECM Bat fuse located in the regular fuse box by the drivers side door or some where else?
#13 of 93 jimmy won't start by rickvan Oct 16, 2006 (11:01 am)
I have a 95 GMC Jimmy with 300000 kms on it, I have done the fuel pump, sending unit and have done repairs to the rotted out fuel lines. If it sits for more then 4 hours I have to use starter fluid to get it going. 2 hours it will start 4 hours is touch and go 6 hours forget it. I have been told the fuel lines need to be replaced because it is getting a air pocket in the lines. Any insight in to this situation would be appreciated.
#14 of 93 1994 S-10 Blazer getting no power to the fuel pump by pwardon Dec 26, 2006 (11:59 am)
I have a 1994 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer with a 4.3L Vortec. Came home with no problems. Next morning it would not start. Mechanic cannot determine problem except fuel pump isn't getting power. I had the fuel pump replaced eight months ago. He said to take it to dealer for further diagnosing. Before I do, does anyone have any suggestions or opinions about what could cause the fuel pump not to be getting power? Please help!

#15 of 93 The solution by 97jimmy1 Dec 27, 2006 (1:14 pm)
The solution to my original post was the the starter switch (not the key but the switch attached to it). Apparently this is a common issue on the 97s
