I have a 2001 Silverado 2500HD with a new battery but intermittently will not start. No click, hum or nothing. It seems like the security interlocks are not all releasing; if this is possible. Sometimes I reset the remote, slam a door, lock/unlock a door or something similar and the thing will start. It may go days starting OK, but then it won't. Any ideas?

Need some help. 2000 GMC 5.3 L sierra, I just ran a quick errand and when I got back into the pickup to leave, I turned the key and all I heard was a rapid clicking sound. Not sure if this is the starter or a relay or what. Any ideas??

I have a '99 Silverado that won't start. Several months ago I replaced the fuel pump, truck ran great. Check engine light came on weeks later, codes were P0440, P0446 & P0452. I was told the codes were not to important, so I did nothing which brings me to my current problem. Last weekend I had trouble starting the truck. It acted as if it wasn't getting gas but I got it cranked with it spitting & sputtering. I changed the in line fuel filter thinking it was clogged. That didn't make any difference. I talked with auto parts clerk who suggested it could be the air flow sensor and that I could spray carburator cleaner into the ??? & if it started then yes it was the sensor. I went home and tried it and behold it started. I live 20 miles from the closest auto parts, so I drovve back to town & got the part. Installed it but still won't stay cranked. I have no clue as to what else to check, any help would be great. |

Replying to: ahinson (May 31, 2008 5:25 am) It then just began working again back in march and worked fine ever since until about a week ago when I went to start it on a Monday morning(sat 2 days) and it would not start? took the other car to work and that evening it started right up. Ran it for a while and shut it off and it started right up again. Left it overnight and it has not started since? It has gone from very dry to a lot of rain and humidity lately but other than that nothing else has changes. One other thing - if it is in the "Not Starting mode" the check engine light is on but as soon as it begins to work again the light goes off? Help - I do not want it to go to the shop for another 2 weeks and not work any better than before. By the way, the truck has 175,000 miles, been well maintained and other than this issue runs great and has a clean bill of health per my mechanic who had it for 3 weeks and shook every wire back in March. I am befuddled Bob Urban |
