Where to spray starting fluid on GM TBI fuel system?

Spray starting fluid down the bore of the throttle body. When you have sprayed a good squirt of starting fluid, quickly place the air filter assembly’s cover back on. IMPORTANT: Placing the cover back on the air filter assembly is important because it’ll prevent any back-fire, that may occur, from spouting flames out of the throttle body.

What should fuel pressure be on a TBI fuel injection system?

Fuel Pressure is critical to the operation of a fuel injection system. Always check to insure that you have the proper fuel pressure. Fuel pressure should be a constant 10 – 15 PSI on a TBI fuel injection system and is typically around 12 – 13 psi. Higher pressure than 15 psi indicates that there is an issue with the installation.

Where is the throttle body fuel pump located?

As you’re already aware, the throttle body fuel injection system on your 1987 to 1995 4.3L, 5.0L, or 5.7L pickup (or SUV) uses a low pressure (12 PSI) electric fuel pump located in the gas tank.

How to test for fuel spray during crank?

This is to be an ignition 1 (ING1) source which is power in both the key run and crank position. Correct the connection of this wire and verify voltage to the pink wire on the injector connector. Test again for fuel spray during crank. If the engine still cranks, is spraying fuel, but will not start go to step 2.

Is there no fuel from injectors to start truck?

No fuel from injectors to start truck. When I try and start my 93 Chevy Cheyenne k3500 no fuel come out of the injectors. If I use starting fluid the truck starts and the injectors work great. Has died a couple times while driving, but mostly runs fine and then won’t start one turned off.
