please help
-
Did you unplug anything when you raised the body that you forgot to plug back in?
-
Check your lines and make sure you didn't get a kink in your gas lines. :-/
-
Good call
-
didnt notice nay kinks, plugeed all back in, doe sthe fuel filelr cap have to be on? caus emien is off right nwo and i cant put it on cuz i havnt extended it, with the cap does it creat some kind of pressure for it to start?
-
is the hose connecteed to anything? I have no clue if it would matter. But maybe the tank needs vacuum or something.....
-
thats what im thinkin liek i wodner if i need the fuel cap on there for it to work?
-
Holy shyte man...slow down and watch what you're typing...its easier to help if we can figure out what you're asking ;)
I'd look around and make sure no wires were pulled off...doesn't the coil have a wire going to ground? Just a thought ???
-
Cap is not needed on tank
Check Wires and Fuel lines
Check fuel pump wires, did
you disconnect them or did
they get pulled ???

is ther eno fuel pump reset button? anywhere?
-
Also check the distributor cap, mine was very close to the firewall during the lifting process and I had to remove one of the plug wires until after the lift was done.
-
any mor esugestions
-
No resets that I know of
There is a relay in the back
opposite the fuel filler, you get to it
from inside the rear thru the pannel

That's the darndest thing. My '92 did the same thing after installing a 2" body lift. Turned out to be the ECM on mine so I don't know how it could possibly be related to doing a body lift!
At any rate, can you hear the fuel pump running? Should run for 3 seconds after you turn on the key. Have you tried pouring gas directly in the throttle to see if it will run? If it does, take a look at Mike Hagan's post earlier titled something like "won't start without ether".

fack, i replaced my ecm about 2 months ago how coudl this be caused by a body lift?
-
Did you disconnect the battery
before you started the work ??
Did it get re connected backwards ??
This is strange, but a Static shock
can do strange things to electronics
:(

didnt disconect it

You might try a reset by removing
a battery cable and waiting 30 Min
You might also look to see if the small
wire from both Pos and Neg Battery
terminals are still connected to the
Trucklet, a missing ground or missing
Pos to the inside could cause the computer
to not work, look at fuses inside and by
the battery, the big ones, you might have
grounded the Pos and blown a fuse that
supplys the inside Voltage
Do you have inside lights ?? Headlights ??
Brake Lights and signals ??

There should be a valve on the fuel rail somewhere. This is used to relief and/or check fuel pressure. This will let you know if the pump is at least working.
When doing a body lift, the wiring is usually wrapped to the underside of the body. When it comes off the body to the frame, there is some slack. You've may have pulled some wires off the connectors, broke them, etc.
Always check the fuses first as it's the simpliest. Use a 12v lamp on both sides of the fuses. Check the pressure. Take a flashlight on top of the gas tank and look for something not connected. (Should be a lot easier with a body lift!)
If it cranks, see if the rotor spins with the crank. This will let you know the timing belt is still good.
Doing a little work or mod like this can throw a monkey wrench along with it.
-
so whihc wires shoudl i check along the frame?
-
Wires for the fuel pump come out
on the left side, from the bottom of
the body, around the back area,
see if those are stretched or broken
-
Also check this area under the passenger side floorboard towards the engine compartment on the frame:
(http://www.zuwharrie.com/images/stories/4drkicklift/dcp_5949.jpg)
This is a block that is attached to the frame that carries your fuel lines. Make sure that if it is still connected to the frame, that your lines didn't kink or break. I unbolted mine and let it hang loose, and stated to do so when doing a body lift in the budget article.

Heather,
No one reads your article!
I myself haven't read it 5 or 6 times! ;D

Sigh.. I know.. nobody cares...
:'(
;D
I myself didn't go by anything when I did my first three body lifts..
-
I don't know if the car wouldn't start when disconnected, but to mine there was a vacuum-line which was very tight, It was the one going to the little box on the fire-board in the motor compartiment, it might have come loose or somethin.....
-
That is the map sensor, but this brings
up a good point, the big Brake booster
line, if it was broken, way too much air
would get past the throttle body and
might make it not start
Good thinking Ed
