This morning the temp gauge shows it as warm but still just cranks without starting. It has 110K miles on it and a Super Chip set to Hi Performance. What can I check? Shop is not open until Monday and I need it sooner than that.
check the wires at the glow plug controller to make sure they are connected properly, and the wire at the cam sensor (just above the crank pulley....just a little to the left side of motor, has a bronze colored tab off of it that looks like a timing peg) to make sure its hooked up. is the motor cranking at the proper speed, because it has to reach about 600 rpms cranking to be able to fire.....try checking your batteries if it sounds sluggish.....bout all i can think of that you can check yourself without me knowing any more...hope this helps......Marc
