My 2019 GMC Sierra 6.2lL tries to start then dies.  Backed my truck up and it died. Fired it back up and it idled so hard and rough it shut itself down. Got service esc, reduced engine power and service transmission. Tried a second time and it just continued to automatically try and  start eventually it killed itself I couldn't stop it from trying to start .....no idea what the hell is going on. I didn't smell any fuel maybe it's not receiving any. It sounded horrible. Any ideas?

Be your throttle body. Had the same thing happen to my 5.3.

Collapsed lifter? Broken push rod?

 

When you have a major emissions failure, it will not run to protect itself from further damage.

So delt with engine bay components. The only thing I've done to the truck was a muffler swap. Hopefully they don't get pissy about that. Truck has 22k

Sorry, in this case an emissions failure would be something in the valve train, should be fine with the muffler.

 

Do you have a CEL present?

Sorry I'm unaware of what a cel is. And truck is currently at dealer. Basically it would high idle and die. Sounded absolutely horrible.

Sorry not trying to be that obnoxious, must have hit enter.

 

It shows up every time you start the truck, will stay on if you have a problem. Codes thrown, things not right....

Yeah i couldn't really tell because it wouldn't last to start up. But I'm assuming it was up.

It just failed, they first thought it was the foot position sensor. Replaced foot pedal, drove 20kms same thing happened. Replaced throttle body never looked back.

Makes sense, especially if it only runs for a few seconds, would be hard to see if it were on.

I'd unhook the battery and put a trickle charger on it until it's fully charged. Hook the battery back up and see if the issue persists. When these batteries get low the trucks start doing funny things!

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jus Cruisin · Posted

      I was the GM of a Lincoln Mercury dealership back in the 80's. The service lot was always full with "broken" ones. Plenty of transmissions, power windows and a/c repairs. The only one I'd consider owning would be the Marauder at this point and it certainly wouldn't be a daily driver.  My 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate is my "Lincoln Town Car" in my retirement. I want all the "stuff". Big infotainment screens, one touch power windows, Supercruise (I won't buy another vehicle without it), hands free pretty much everything. I'm going to swap my current truck for a 2027 Yukon Denali Ultimate so I can have the air suspension and surround vision recording along with all the other "stuff".

      The Denali Ultimate's grille is tinted, but the "regular' Denali has a bright chrome grille like the current models.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
