NO CODES!

if TBI, check fuel pressure

allot before it starts, still idles

in idle quality and throttle

A.I.R. pump and belt).

How about the fuel pump relay, if TBI? Sounds like it cranks till oil pressure builds and then fires off. Fuel pressure relay will let it fire faster but the engine will die if oil pressure isn't seen right away. Something along those lines anyway.

Still doesn't explain the high idle. Gotta be CTS or FPR.

...but with no codes? I have worked on EFI vehicles before and have almost always had a code!

no, but it might fix the 'still cranks a lot before it starts'...................

Try the gasket between the tbi or carb. I had a 96 S-10 Blazer that had the same symptoms and a friend suggested I check it out. It was a $7.99 fix!

I'm thinkin' since he had to crack the throttle plates to get her to start before the tune up, and now after the tune up with a hotter spark he doesn't have to crack the plates to get it to fire, plus the high idle, that there is just way too much gas making it's way into the mixture for some reason or another.

Then again, high idle could be a FUBAR'ed EFI component and the fuel pump/filter/realy could be shot causing the hard start.

Gotta love it when she doesn't spit codes at ya..............

Doc

How about the IAC(idleaircontrol) valve sticking? Doug

I already suggested that a few days ago in another thread. He cleaned it and said the pintle is moving around just fine................

Doc

check your fuel pressure. be sure it is 14psi for the low pressre system or 30psi for the high pressure system

res

Bonehead:

TBI is 9-13 psi

CPI/MPFI is 60-66 psi.

The 7.4L TBI runs at 26-32 psi, but he's got a 350, so it ain't the "high pressure system."

Goddamn webbies...........
