Wifey's Burb Won't Start

[Texas Jim]

Late 1999 thru 2000... Caddy had a bunch of bad crankshaft position sensors...
I do not know if that applies to the Chevy 350 or not...

I'm about to call AAA,hopefully the Chevy dealership can shed a little light on my prob...

Question.....If I unplug the CKP sensor shouldn't it throw a code? According to two different scanners there are no codes

If it is OBDll and the sensors are unplugged and you try to run the engine... I would think that it should throw a code...

Can you ohm out the CKP? How expensive are they?

 

[Sodbuster]

I think someone has been putting fuel additive like CR in the fuel tank and now it's just running too rich...

Is the distributor rotor turning?

I ran out of blinker fluid and had the same exact problems. Try topping it off.

Somewhere around $65.Didn't try the ohms test...it's at the dealership now

No wonder it won't drive straight

Is the distributor rotor turning?
Yep,and a nice spark at the plugs,at least #1.Removed it and connected the wire and grounded it....

I ran out of blinker fluid and had the same exact problems. Try topping it off.

My next step was to check the muffler bearings

Don't forget to check the radiator resonator also.
