Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Intermittant No Start

[Chris Bultman]

I have a 95 2500 with 160k on it and once in awhile it will not start, just crank. If I pick the fuel soleniod up by hand it will stay and the truck will start fine until I turn the key off then I have to repeat. It will only do this for a day or two at a time then be fine for a week. I have not had much time to look into it but I do know that the soleniod resistance is fine and when it won't start there is not any power to the pull in circuit. Is there any common things that can go wrong and cause this or do I just have to start chasing wires?



Thanks, Chris

Sounds like the Fuel Shutoff Relay is going south. Failry common occourance.



Check out Larry B's stuff. Should be a $20 fix.

Check the pos terminal on driver's battery. One of the small wires, blue I think, is the power supply. Corrosion or broken wire there is a common problem.
