I have a 1997 Yukon 125,000 miles gas engine that has been a great car but lately it has a mind of it's own. Whenever it rains or is real damp the truck will not turnover or starts really hard. The dealership says it's a fuel injection problem but although I'm not a car guy it doesn't make sense to me since it does not occur all the time. Is there a sensor that tells the fuel pump to shut down when it rains or could there be wires crossed? Recently had it tuned at the dealership. Currently it's in the garage with a fan blowing on it! Please help before my wife kills me!!!

More details please...

 

Does the ignition light come on?

 

Does the starter motor crank the engine?

 

If yes, see if you are getting spark. (Spark problem)

 

Try squirting a bit of starter fluid in the throttle body while starting. (Fuel problem)

 

Try pressing slightly on the accelerator. (Idle air problem)

Ignition light comes on and the starter motor cranks the engine. I'll give the starter fluid a try, Thanks

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

      Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
