I need some help I have 2006 chevy silverado with the 4.3 vortec. Going down the hwy the other day the truck died. I got the tuck home and it starts up
when it wants to. I went out to start no it won't start what should I look at.

Jake said:
Reply: @Roy, When the truck is not starting, see if it has spark and fuel pressure. My guess is no fuel pressure. If no, probably a bad fuel pump

al said:
Have a 2000 k3500 chevy silverado still wont start replaced fuel pump coil timing chain pcm cam and crank sensor battery have spark and fuel
pressure injecters work.

Tom said:
Reply: @al, If your Silverado has spark, proper fuel pressure and injector pulse, then it must have an internal engine problem. The only thing any
engine needs to run is fuel, spark and compression. Boy, that is a lot of wasted time and money trying to fix something that your have no idea how to
properly diagnose.
