My engine is turning but it won't start
Asked by GuruBL6CY Jan 27, 2019 at 02:46 PM about the 1998 Chevrolet S-10 LS Stepside RWD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I have replaced my timing chain and my
truck still won't start. The engine turns but it
doesn't want to start. One of the spark plugs
I took out broke in half. Could this cause the
truck not to start. The engine just wines
when I try to start it. I need help

a broken plug would not cause a no start re ck. you crank & camshaft timing
I rechecked my timing chain and it is set like the book says. The engine turns but it's not firing.
Make sure battery has a full charge and connections all good. Have helper crank it while you check for spark at the plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure and fuel injector pulse. Any applicable trouble codes? Do you have cylinder compression? Double check your work make sure you didn't knock any sensor connectors loose.
