    Engine cranks, but only starts after letting off key? - I'm perplexed

    I haven’t looked yet to see if places like LMC or similar sell harness sections. Also haven’t looked to see if the original is built in sections (I.e. disconnects at certain points) where portions can be replaced vs the entire harness

    Engine cranks, but only starts after letting off key? - I'm perplexed

    Are there any wires/connectors behind the radio area that I could have damaged when I removed/reinstalled the radio? Or is it just a coincidence that it started acting up right after I reinstalled the radio?

    I will add that with the exception of the ignition switch, all other parts replaced so far have been AC Delco/Delphi to rule out less reliable aftermarket electrical parts.

    Engine cranks, but only starts after letting off key? - I'm perplexed

    Good evening friends! It's been quite awhile since I gave an update, mainly because it's been a long journey. The latest and greatest... Long story short the shop replaced the ignition switch a second time. Still having the cranking issue intermittently, so the shop looked over the wiring...

    Smoke Blue Metallic - where to find for touch ups

    Hello all, No, my engine is not blowing blue smoke (this was all of the threads returned when searching on the forum for smoke blue metallic haha). The color of my 91 Burban is a little hard to track down. Looked at the SPID and it’s just codes, no descriptions like some of the earlier SPIDs...

    Engine cranks, but only starts after letting off key? - I'm perplexed

    The whole distributor assembly was replaced which I assume includes the HEI coil. I’ll have to double check that. The switch issue seems to have developed after they fixed the vacuum leaks and replaced the distributor. Makes me wonder if putting the original distributor back in would shed any...

    Engine cranks, but only starts after letting off key? - I'm perplexed

    It's stored at the shop this weekend but I'll be sure to mention it to the shop first thing Monday morning so they can try that. The good thing is it's starting every time and running normal, just acting a little odd with the switch when up to temp. Battery is older, but voltage is good and...

    Engine cranks, but only starts after letting off key? - I'm perplexed

    Well....the ignition switch has been replaced. The shop drove it to test cold and hot starts. Everything seemed to be back to normal according to them. I picked it up this afternoon and stopped at the store on the way home. Seems to run normal. Came out from the store, same issue...cranks...

    Engine cranks, but only starts after letting off key? - I'm perplexed

    Hello all - thank you for your feedback so far. I think it's helping to narrow it down. I kept the suburban overnight at my house to see how it behaved this morning when cold. Went out and it started like normal. Fired while cranking and didn't have to let off the key. Drove it back to the...

    Engine cranks, but only starts after letting off key? - I'm perplexed

    Hello all! I'm perplexed...I think the repair shop is getting there too. I recently had my suburban break down on the weekend shortly after leaving the house. The engine bucked a couple times before briefly stumbling and dying. Coasted into a parking lot and had it towed to a local shop. It...

    Module under Radio

    I think you’re spot on. Googled the info and the images look just like that module I saw below the radio. That makes me feel better that I can rule that out as the culprit. The local shop found multiple vacuum leaks around the throttle body and intake manifold. They’re convinced those repairs...

    Module under Radio

    Hello all On my 91 suburban - Does any by chance know what the white-ish module mounted on the lower dash, underneath the radio is? I unfortunately don’t have a picture of mine, but I noticed it when removing/reinstalling my factory radio this past week. I reinstalled the radio Thursday...

    91 Burban Radio Restoration - Static Gone!
