Hi,

I need confirmation on the engine size. A 4.3L V6 wasn't offered. It would be either a 2.7L 4-cyl or a 3.4L V6.

As far as the issue, if you have a good spark and it is getting fuel but refuses to start, it is either a timing issue or a compression issue.

If you haven't already, see if it starts for a couple of seconds using starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, it is a fuel issue. You could have fuel pressure to the fuel rail, but it isn't getting into the engine. Try that.

Let me know what you find and the engine size.

Take care,

Joe
