Hi i got an 02 tahoe v8.I went to start it and it would crank but wont start.it has no spark and i got a fuel tester and im not getting any fuel at all.cant hear the pump come on when i turn the key on. the fueses look good.im thinking its a computer problem to have no spark and no fuel at same time.the truck was driving and running good last time i drove it.if any one know what i should try or change please let me know.thank you

Have you had the distributor worked on lately? How long did it sit? Maybe a rodent chewed through a wire

for spark i place a spark plug in the spark plug wire and put it by a bolt on the engine and also ran a wire from the neg side of battery to the plus and before that tryed starying fluid.



and mine is 2002 no didtributor any more.got coils for each spark plug.drove the truck in the morning and end of the day it would not start.so it did not sit for a long time.

Crank sensor/connection? Anti-Theft ? Try removing battery cables and let it sit for a good 15-20 minutes so the ECM memory goes completely dead. Then reconnect and try to start. This would be the cheapest thing to start with. No codes ?

I think remove the battery cables is a good start too.

What was the point of the wire from the negative to the positive side of the battery?

Do you have access to any wiring diagrams? Check all wiring associated with that fuse if you can get a diagram.
