Trying to find specs on my K3500

OK ... I did a VIN check through CARFAX and it gave me the following:

VIN: 1GCHK33J2VF029412 Year/Make/Model: 1997 CHEVROLET K3500 Body Style: CREW PICKUP Engine Type: 7.4L V8 SFI HO VORTEC

But still intersted in trying to solve my ignition problem if anyone has any suggestions

"Cranks but won't run." Crank and turn over are the samething.

Try turning the key to the "ON" position and leaving it for a few seconds, then crank and see if it'll start first time.

Check fuel pump pressure and fuel filter. Also check for some water in fuel. Chevy or GMC, makes no difference for parts because they come off the same assembly line.

Try cycling the key on and off a few times before starting. Listen for the fuel pump to come on. If doing this results in it starting on the first try, replace the fuel filter and see if the issue goes away. Charles

Thanks for the tips. Sorry 'bout the terminolgy. That was a couple beers fumbling my words for me.

No need to be sorry, I was trying to coax the problem you are having from you so we can help you fix the problem. I just thought that because you didn't know where it was that you didn't test it and you are just guessing.

Example would be if your cruise control isn't working and you go through the test procedure and find out that the VSS isn't varying voltage as described in the test procedure so you think the VSS is to blame. When in actual fact you just weren't spinning the wheels fast enough to register, meaning the VSS is not to blame.

Don't want you to spend $21.38US and an hour of your time replacing something that didn't need replacing.
