No fuel from TBI double barrel


Recommended Posts

Posted

So i put in a new fuel pump, fuel filter and relay with new fuses. Fuel pump works great, theres fuel going into the TBI carburetor but than thats it. What i mean is it stops at the carb and must go back down through the return hose because the injectors dont squirt gas at all but i think that is because they arent getting any. But before i buy the complete rebuild kit i was hoping someone may shed some light on this for me. My truck wont start unless i squirt gas into the throttle cylinders and than it dies after 2-5 seconds

The ignition control module its right under the distributor. I had the same problem and it was the cause.

Thanks for the reply! I will have to look into that, my next step was to jump the B A terminals and check for any codes, if the ICM is the cause i should see a code flash right? This truck sat for a few years unused but worked good before it was parked, the original fuel pump was stuck due to varnish from old gas, i got it working again but i purchased a new one anyway since i had the tank out. Once i replaced the in line fuel filter i thought it would fire but it was a no go, i get lots of spark, i cleaned the TBI and the fuel pressure regulator and spring/bowl was extremely dirty and rusted, my plan is to check for codes, check the injectors and hopefully find the cause.

I fixed the issue. Not sure why but i took the top half of the TBI off and cleaned the injectors and what not, i was very frustrated and decided to blow compressed air into both fuel line and return lines going into the TBI, put everything back together and it fired right up. Turned it off and tried again, fired up again. Did this a couple times just to make sure. But im assuming somthing was stuck in the line so now my plan is to drop the tank again, clean out all the lines and filters just as a good safety measure and it should be good to go! I also checked for codes but there was none, just repeated code 12 a bunch of times.

Your injectors were likely just stuck. Dropping the tank again maybe unnecessary.

    • A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.
    • Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?  
    • I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery. 
    • The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.
    • Got heavy rain, hail and light rain yesterday.
