Replying to: rusty25 (Jul 04, 2007 6:34 pm) RUSTY..........No imm. start when hot ? Sounds like the FPR (fuel pressure reg.). Easy to check. Locate the fpr. Run engine then shut off. Pull off vaccuum line on side of FPR....WITH ENGINE OFF!!!!   If wet with fuel.........Its bad !!!   Many posts of no hot start and FPR failures on older GM v-8 trucks around the net.............

My truck wont start . When I turn the key it cranks for about 1/4 second then nothing . None of the gauges or power locks and windows work . The battery is fine . Last night while driving all the gauges quit working and the a/c compressor kicked off , but the truck still ran fine . Any help would be greatly appreciated .

Replying to: mshine (Jul 10, 2007 6:29 am) Start with the battery cables and connections........ Problems with the battery bolts bottoming out in the terminals and not using/replacing the crush washers.   BTW: Any mods or a killer stereo installed?

Replying to: jmoran99 (May 28, 2007 4:43 pm) Let the fuel pump prime before turning the engine over ... then turn over without hitting the gas. If it keeps flooding you may need to get the ignition retarded or have the engine tuned. Automatic choke issues may cause problems.   It could be the fuel filter needs a change. Using an engine additive may cause problems too as it dissolves so much sediment in your tank that it clogs everything up.   Starters are bullet proof on the Chevy but worth changing every 10 years as is the alternator.
#11 of 193 92 Silverado 4.3l V6 Starting problems by asolinger Aug 08, 2007 (5:32 am)
I have read several posts similar to my problem and still have not seen much about it being fixed, so any help would be great. I have a 92 Silverado 4.3 V6, 5-spd manual trans. Truck will not always start when turning the key, Dash lights and radio fire up but engine does not fire. Most of the time I hear a click and sometimes there is not click at all. If I let the truck sit for 5-15 minutes and try again, it starts right up. I have had this problem off and on for more than a year and sure it must be a simple fix. I have changed fuel pump, filter, starter , plugs, battery, neutral safety switch, wires, plugs, cables, coil and still cannot find out what the deal is. It is as if there is a relay being tripped or a fuel pressure backup somewhere that needs to dissipate before the truck will start. If anyone has any ideas, I am certainly appreciative.   Thanks

Replying to: chevy2007 (Jul 21, 2007 11:34 am) Hi My father in law has a LTZ crew cab 4x4 and has had the same problem. His battery is getting run down because the fuel pump runs and runs. It has been to the dealer 4 times and they are putting there heads in the sand. They have contacted a lawyer and may have to envoke lemon law. My inlaws hate the fact that they even have to talk with a lawyer but the spent 45k on this truck and he does not know if it will start or not. Next time you run around in it when you shut it off see of you can here pump running. It may be a short in the wiring harness. Yesterday we went down to a fishing hole on a bumpy road and it started doing it. He really wants to keep this truck but it has been a real heartbreak for him. If any one else has any ideas would be greatly apreciated. I am on here to check for them you can email me direct. doubledwcox.net Thanks
