Replying to: sbs57 (Nov 10, 2007 6:49 pm) mine is running like a dream now. the first day i drove it to work, i had smoke coming from under the truck, so i checked the plugs during my lunch. they all seemed fine, just covered in soot.   after i had them all back in, i decided to crank it and give it a try. it fired up like a dream. and i drove it home with no flaws that afternoon. it was the greatest ride i had in a long time.   i figured it was burning up the gunk after all the misfires and unsuccessful tries.   but the first time i had hooked up the wires, i got alot of backfires and just wouldn't start. that was when i figured they must be turned turned out. mine was turned 180 degrees.

Replying to: tolouse (Nov 07, 2007 3:32 pm) You can always return the distributor to the original position as factory, but it might have been done the way it is now to make more space for it to move for final timing.   You just line it up on number one on compression and pull out distributor and put it where you want it. It has to engage into the oil pump drive as well and cam gear at the same time and thats the tricky part to get it lined up where you want it to face.   Have a tool on the crank to move it a little to make it settle in.   Glad you figured it out..

i have had problems lately and it only happens on about every 15 starts.. i turn the key and it makes a sucking noise and tries to start and then i stop and try it again and it starts fine. i just cleaned my plugs and got a new air filter and checked for any loose wires. any suggestions??
#47 of 195 96 Sonoma won't start, No idiot lights or fuel pump activation by gmcdriver1 Nov 22, 2007 (9:18 am)
I have a 96 automatic 4.3 litre Sonoma with about 139K miles. It has been running good. A few days ago it stalled while idoling, restarted fine without incident. I drove it a few miles, running fine, then I shut it off for about 5 minutes and it would not start. The fuel pump does not go on when the ignition is on. The idiot lights do not illuminate in the dash either. It will crank over but does not fire. Does anyone have any suggestions??   Thanks. Replies to this message: misael (Nov 26, 2007 4:30 pm)

#49 of 195 computer dying? by bobpomeroy Nov 29, 2007 (7:39 pm)
something shuts off all electricals. It will start with a jump. Seems to reload (lights flashing on instrument panel). During jump, acts like low battery, but battery checks out. it's a 2002 S10 v6 that runs like a watch except sometimes. Any info prognosis or advice?
