Have a 2006 chevy silverado. Driving and it just died. Things I have done. Replaced the fuel pump. Getting plenty of fuel pressure at the fuel rail. Still won't start. Replace the camshaft sensor, still won't start. Replaced the crankshaft sensor, still won't start. Replaced the ECM, still won't start. Checked all the fuses. Checked the fuel pump relay. Nothing. 

Put some starting fluid in the throttle body, cranks up. Try again without the starting fluid, Nothing. Def seems like a fuel issue, but I can't find the issue. Have asked 3 different mechanics, they have no idea now either. Truck will turn over, but will not start without gas or starting fluid. AM I missing something? TYIA...

The theft system could cause a no start but with a new computer that is unlikely now.

 

I'd be looking at scan tool data to see what some of the sensors are saying. Easy stuff to try is unplugging the MAF and trying to start it.

No doubt. I actually tried the "theft system" reset, even though i had the new ECM installed. I scanned the truck, no codes except for a, O2 sensor. You think the MAF could possibly be holding the fuel out? TU.

It's possible, unplugging the MAF is just a test to see if a bad MAF reading is causing it to not run.

Ok. I’ll try that in the morning. Just unplugging the MAF sensor will allow it to startup if the sensor is out? I appreciate the response.

Yes.. but I’ll check again today. Now I used a 12v test light during my testing of each one. Not my volt meter. This thang is whooping my ass. TU

I went ahead and checked the fuses again. 
test light to each injector, all lit up like a Christmas tree. Unhooked the MAF sensor, tried without it plugged in, and nothing. 
electrical cleaner, plugged back in, nothing

same with the MAP sensor. Rechecked the new crankshaft and camshaft sensors electrical connections. Nothing. But again, I can put some gas in the throttle body and crank it up. I’m still convinced it’s a fuel issue due to that.. I’m lost, guys.

To me something is telling the injectors not to fire if it runs off starting fluid or gas dumped down the throttle body. The injectors have power but the computer is stopping the injectors from firing.

 

I'm at a loss without me there and a scan tool hooked up the truck. If you can't figure it out you may need to tow it somewhere to have them look at it.

So the PCM sends a ground signal to each injector to "fire" it when cranking or running, you can check that with a test light also or use a noid light, check that and let us know

Ok, I will check that next. I have access to a car dolly. Was hoping to figure this out, but If I can’t get this figured out soon, I’ll take it to a shop. I ran it off straight gas in the TB today again. But nothing after it burned off. 
thanks again

The fuel pressure at the rail is 55 psi with the key turned on. I left it pressured up for 5 mins just to make sure it wasn’t bleeding down. It held the same pressure.

Just an update. Truck still not running. 
There’s a tank pressure sensor on top of the gas tank. This truck has no external fuel filter or fuel pressure regulator. Might test the tank pressure sensor tomorrow. Running out of options. Thanks.

    • I included the first gen-cylinder de-activation (active fuel management) in my statement.
    • Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

    • Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
    • Having codes and an engine light with no hints on what might be causing it is nothing short of frustrating. How long have these concerns been present?
