Noob needs help

nlusk05 · 10-12-2006, 07:18 AM

Hi I have a 93 1/2ton with a 4.3 and I am having problems with it starting after the truck has been recently running. Sometimes the truck will fire right up and other times it wont. I had someone crank the engine over while i watched the injectors and they both squirt fuel. When the engine will not run, (I know this is isn't good on it) I can give it about 3/4 throttle and it will eventually take off and run. I had a few people tell me that the fuel relay is going bad but I thought I would get a few more sugestions just in case that didn't work.

i dont know if this would be a problem but i have had injectors leak down into the intake a flood it out. i had to open the throttle all the way for it to clear itself while starting so that it would start up.

Sounds like an electrical problem to me. It's quite common in Hondas.. happens ONLY when they're nice and hot.

However, according to dealer technical service bulletins, it could be a ruptured fuel pump pulsator. It's a common problem for '92-'96 Chevys

Good luck!!!
