coolwind57 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Before I call a wrecker, throwing out a request for help here. Was just leaving AutoZone and I had a sudden sputtering, loss of power. Was able to get it back in a parking lot before it dying and I shut it off. Went to crank again and it just buttered and would not start. Was thinking I running out of gas, so I put gas in. It cranks and cranks and seems to want to start, but just kind of spiders and will not idle on its own. Any ideas you can throw at me before I call a wrecker? I’m having them charge my battery at the moment because it was only at 40% after my attempts at cranking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolwind57 Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 Horrible spelling, sorry guys. Using my phone—I hope you Are getting my drift. It just sputters and never really gains self supporting idle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolwind57 Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 Swapped out ballast resistor to no avail. Just happen to have one in my cab. Cranking sounds normal. Really acts like it wants to start. Kind of sounds like maybe no fuel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolwind57 Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 Got it! I think it was the cps connector. Praise God. I disconnected, reconnected and it fired right up. Thanks for the input fellas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 CPS every time lol. Is it a Renix one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 If that worked, probably just a pin fitment/dirty contact issue. Lucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
