traded in the harley truck against 93 ty at hummer of cincinati. quit running 30 minutes later, acts like fuel pump. dealers being cool but holy crap I'm 6 hours from home in a hotel. I planned on going to cedar point for the night and going to the show in the morning. scratch all those plans. what the heck should I do now?

I think they open at 9. the truck stumbled and stalled out like it ran out of gas? it could be fuel pump, pickup filter. there were receipts for new ecm in the glove box?

Re: broke n cinci

just noting the obvious did you try putting fuel in the tank? does the check engine light come on when you try to start it now?

beat on the fuel tank a little, might be clogged with old crap

check engine light does work(ignition sequence) and it doesn't come on. I burned an eighth tank between test driving and driving around. the tank was filled by their porter so?

Re: broke n cinci

check the fuses, ecmb in particular.

Have them measure for Fuel Pressure first, spark 2nd.

I am 100 miles away if that helps any.

Does the tach jump when you crank it? If not,the ignition module needs replaced.

Wastegate has nothing to do with a no start issue.
 
Re: broke n cinci HELP!!!

My truck also had issues blowing the ECM-B fuse for a long time. I put in a 5amp higher fuse and no problems since. I'm in the Cincy/NoKY area if I can be of any help.

Re: broke n cinci HELP!!!

this has happened more like 3 times, which sucks, and several other times on different vehicles. I rather regret the gas and time than the purchase.

it was great that I still made it to the show. now I know a few people if I remember there names? I was thrown off by the hhr instead of a grey sy. I actually went to Ohio last year to buy a sy in close to you used to be haryde's or whoever.

NOW THE VERDICT!!!
there was some sort of controler drilled in behind the shifter. it was a turn knob. I asked the dealer over and over if they knew what it was. I couldn't figure it out and it didn't seem to make a difference about which possition it was in while drivng. according to them they said it was attached to the waist gate (boost controller?) I'm not a mechanic but I definately wrench on my own like most everyone here does. I couldn't spot anything out of place? I told them to send a driver up with the truck and make the swap.saleperson said he'd call back. never heard a thing so, I called him back end of the day. he said that one of the tech's took the truck for a test run and put the window down and it didn't go back up? now they want the truck for 2 more days and due to the cost to replace the window motor they won't even meet me halfway?

oh yah the other trucks. I will more than likely pick the other 2 trucks up but I'm trying to get the price down to more realistic.the ty has repaired cladding, is disassembled and has lots of missing peices like some cladding, door handle surounds, door panel... the body is good (replacement panels) . the blazer is strait hit. body is waisted but runs and drives pretty decent and the interior is mostly complete. they both run and have 70K on them roughly.
