A.J. Hall · March 12, 2009, 11:35:28 PM

Ford or chevy lolz.
So I have replaced the Crank sensor, cap, rotor, plugs, and coil and nothing helped. I am going to try the Idle/Air Control valve and see if that helps.

have you checked your fuel pressure?

A.J. Hall · March 13, 2009, 01:34:09 AM

I just replaced the IAC Valve and no change.

I did not check the fuel pressure. But I did pour gas in the throttle body and I can smell gas after crankng. Its getting plenty of gas and spark.

I have tried kickin it a few times. Maybe I should try talkin dirty to it. It just feels like cheating cause I only do that to my Trans Am

Im gonna try cuttin off the cat.

There is a very easy way to check codes, if I remember right. You turn key to ignition and turn off like 5 or 6 times, and then it will blink.

check this, more in depth

That led me to find a TPS sensor was fxxxed and so was the o2 sensor and some other shiat.

A.J. Hall · March 13, 2009, 06:08:48 PM

Thanks I tried that also. But its only for 97 and older cars/trucks.

Sorry didn't know, if you were closer I'd bring my dad's code reader to ya. He's got a code reader. Wish I could help more

Ummmm tps sensor made it so my truck wouldn't run, did not throw codes either. Do you have an alarm? Buddy had same exact truck as you, and his alarm malfunctioned and wouldn't let his truck start. So does it start at all now, or just no idle? I'm not a genius, but I am very good at searching the net for info.
