Guys, need some advice on pinpointing a won't start issue.
My son went to pull away after getting gas and the truck even at full throttle just wouldn't go over a couple MPH. He put in in reverse, backed into parking spot and it wouldn't start after that. So after reading posts on this forum all last night and this morning I need help.
What I know:
1) Won't start even when giving full throttle. (fires occasionally)
2) Occasionally backfires through intake
3) Gas smell at tail pipe.
4) 340 code when first happened, cleared it, no further codes have appeared.
5) Checked spark at all plugs with timing light, ok.
6) Checked Cam Position Sensor with meter when cranking and I get AC voltage as the cam lobe passes by.
7) Replaced IAC.
8) Checked vacuum lines.
My next step was to check/replace Crank Position Sensor, and fuel pressure.
It acts like its out of time. As far as I know the 3 parts that deal with timing are the CMP, CKP, and the PCM.
After tonight I'll be out of ideas...Any other suggestions???? I'll repost with results.
Thanks!
