#147 of 180 Tahoe won't start unless hot? by colinj Jul 06, 2009 (1:24 pm)
Hi Mick:   I know this is over a year old, But I am having the same problem with My Tahoe, Won't start unless it's sitting in the hot sun. I took it to 3 mechanics including the dealership and they all said come and get it, we can't fix it.   I was wondering if you ever solved the problem?   Regards, Colin Replies to this message: datdangdude (Jul 08, 2009 6:24 am)

Replying to: colinj (Jul 06, 2009 1:24 pm) I NEVER found a "reason" for the discrepancy, but, I put the starter back in,..and it has been running well ever since.   Anyway, now, I have to replaces the rotors/brakes on the front end - it is metal-on-metal now   I hope you find a fix for your situation, and maybe, you will pass the findings on   Take Care
#149 of 180 Crankshaft Position Sensor by stuckagain Jul 09, 2009 (1:13 pm)
I just replaced the Crankshaft Position Sensor on my 1999 Suburban, 4wd, 1500, gas, not diesel. It was kicking back and grinding yesterday when I replaced the starter, but once it started, it purred beautifully. Shimming did not help. Now that I've replaced the Crankshaft Position Sensor, the car sounds great while it is trying to start... sounds wonderful compared to yesterday... like a brand new car. But it won't start. It's must be from replacing the sensor. The fuel pump is working great, new distributor and all. Does something in the computer need to be reset at the dealer or at a shop?

Replying to: blackpacific1 (Feb 07, 2009 5:51 pm) My fuel pump module on the 1999 Suburban finally died last week. I replaced it with an aftermarket Bosch unit, which at $250 was less than half what the dealer OEM pump cost. I replaced the fuel filter at the same time. Now our gas gauge is working again, a side effect of replacing a bad pump. Compared to the 1993 Chevy Astro we used to own, the quality of the fuel system components has gotten cheaper and more prone to fail.

I mean we have changed everything that deals with the ignition that we can think of. The suburban still won't start if it gets warmed up and we shut it off. What are we forgetting? Anyone have a clue?

I have a 97 Chevy Suburban that has developed an intermittent starting issue. The past few days when I go to leave work, I'll put the key in, turn it and nothing, although the dash lights and the radio will come on. After a few minutes of turning the key off and on, it will turn over and start right up. It has been starting fine in the morning, but I'm sure at some point I won't be able to get it started. Any ideas short of replacing the starter? Replies to this message: kiawah (Jul 29, 2009 5:17 am) rslawsky (Jul 31, 2009 11:54 am) kiawah (Jul 31, 2009 12:07 pm)

Replying to: rslawsky (Jul 29, 2009 5:04 am) Hang a fused test lead off of the +wire going to the starter solenoid. Put a voltmeter on that wire, so that you can watch what the voltage is when you are trying to start. If you have voltage there when you turn the key to the start position, then the problem is either solenoid or starter. If you don't have voltage, then your problem is between your ignition switch itself and that wire. Replies to this message: rslawsky (Jul 31, 2009 11:54 am) kiawah (Jul 31, 2009 12:07 pm)

Replying to: kiawah (Jul 29, 2009 5:17 am) I'm beginning to suspect this may be related to the key. I switched to my spare set of keys and haven't had a problem since. Just a guess, though. Replies to this message: kiawah (Jul 31, 2009 12:07 pm)

#156 of 180 Tahoe starting issue. by bigmac55 Aug 02, 2009 (11:30 am)
Hey, so I've had my 99 Tahoe for about two years now. I have replaced the battery and the cables, and new spark plugs. About four months ago my SES light started coming on intermittently and about every other start it'd either shut off or turn on. Now it stays lit up all the time. I never had it looked at. Well, a few days ago, I went out to go to work and it won't start. It cranked over just fine but wouldn't start up, as soon as I took the key out of the start position. I'm not exactly sure whats going on. I let it sit for a couple days and just took it out and it fired right up and i drove it a couple miles. When I got home, I turned it off and started it about four times because I no longer trust it as the reliable car I thought it was. Any thoughts? I thought it might be the fuel pump. Gosh I hope not. Anyways, thanks. David
