92 chevy 5.0 tbi intermittant no-start

Apr 27, 2005 3 Replies

no fuel at injectors and no spark while cranking engine. fuel pump runs before start with switch turned on. with spark tester connected, visible spark and fuel from injectors when start occurs. no spark or fuel visible when no-start occurs. what component would stop both spark and fuel injectors intermittantly? ignition module tests good. runs perfectly after successful start, but dies intermittantly/restarts intermittantly. help me please!



thank you, Shep. you told me just what I was afraid you'd say. chasing sparks is a nightmare, taking it to the chevy dealer is bucks I don't have. I'll go ahead and replace the pickup, it's only $10 and I can look around in the distributor some more. Thanks again

replaced ignition module, problem fixed. NOTE: old ignition module tested good three times. obviously, ignition module problem can be intermittant. fuel injectors will not fire if ignition is not working. lesson learned.
