Replying to: jeof (Sep 16, 2009 12:31 pm) Sounds like a bad throttle position sensor. Course this is just a guess based on what you stated. As far as the relationship between the gas gauge reading empty and the truck not starting is something I've never seen or heard of. Coincidence? Maybe.

Replying to: jerald227 (Sep 02, 2009 1:54 pm) I have a 2009 2500HD Silverado with similar problems not only will mine run rough for the first few minutes but the limited slip will go in and out, the traction control flashes trouble and makes the traction lock up and then the ABS lights up and locks on the brakes. Now they have it in service and cannot find any problems. Any ideas other than taking it back or crushing it?
#170 of 193 1996 Chevy z71 will turn over but not start by olblue20 Sep 23, 2009 (2:10 pm)
My truck will turn over fine but wont start. most of the time when i turn my key on my gauges dont kick on. every once in a while they will though, usually when i turn the key very slow. i replaced the fuel filter and fuel pump thinking it was a fuel issue. also switched out what was believed to be the ignition module under the hood on a bracket near the distributor. could this be the ignition itself on the steering column?

forgot to mention that i have gotten it to start once or twice usually when the gauges will actually kick on, but if i turn the truck off and try to start it again it just continues to turn over.

Replying to: obyone (Sep 16, 2009 1:05 pm) Hey obyone, Where is the throttle position sensor located? I know...I should subscribe to Chiltons or that Alldata place...but you're cheaper Replies to this message: obyone (Sep 24, 2009 1:52 am)

Replying to: davethecarnut (Sep 23, 2009 10:24 pm) TPS is located on the throttle body.
#174 of 193 95 C1500 start problem by jhl385 Oct 06, 2009 (8:35 am)
I only get a click at the starter when trying to start my truck. This started with a bad battery, but I replaced it with a new one yesterday converting it to a top post. The starter is a rebuilt one replaced this spring and I pulled it today and had it checked - it's fine. So I though maybe the cable from the battery to the starter is bad and I used jumper cables to go from the neg. post on the starter to the battery and left the OE cable in place. Same thing happened, hit the ign. start position and only a click at the starter. I even "borrowed" another starter from the parts store and it did exactly the same thing. Any ideas what I can check now? Thanks.
#175 of 193 starting issue by joshual1887 Oct 12, 2009 (6:14 am)
i have a 2000 3/4 silverado 6.0. when i i crank the engine it struggles to start. sometimes it starts on the first engine rotation but most of the time it takes about 6 seconds to start, or starts on the second crank. once running the first 5 seconds it nearly dies, and then brings itself back alive. also while in idle or redlights there is a slight miss. have an obd2 and it shows no codes. has new battery, plugs, wires, fuel filter. altenator tests fine, fuel pressure is good. fuel pump tests fine. any help would be appreciated

Replying to: joshual1887 (Oct 12, 2009 6:16 am) what about the idle air controller? Replies to this message: joshual1887 (Oct 13, 2009 6:53 am)
