Help!!!
My 2001 Silverado 4.3L V6 was running a little rough last time out. Now after sitting for 3 weeks it won't fire. It rolls over just fine, I can hear the fuel pump purr then shut down after building pressure but no sign of life, not a single puff. I even tried spraying a little starting fluid down into the throttle body and that didn't even make it pop. The check engine light is not on and was not on so I doubt that I have any computer codes?
I am thinking it may be easier to have it towed to the dealer and have them fix it? It's raining and I can't get it into my garage. I am at a loss where to start?
A little background on the truck. It's had a rough life, it was a service truck for the first 100k miles then I bought it with a thrown rod. I put a junkyard long block in with 40k on it and it ran great until about 3 weeks ago. The intake and distributor have 115k miles on them and the motor's rotating components only have 55k.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
