Chevy 5.0 Crank no-start, Low Power P1345 -Part 2 

+EZRider1979 still had plenty of room left under the accelerator! Didn't want to mash it too hard or my RIGHT foot might have gone straight through to the pavement LOL

+fred Flinstone Great info, thanks!

@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics my rotor had just as much play on my 2000 express 5.7L. when doing lower intake gaskets, I took the cap off, marked the stem to the manifold, then the rotor to the housing with 2 marks on the rotor, 1 on the housing. Seemed like I got it lined up perfect, because the check engine light did not show. Cap n rotor contacts looked like crap, so cleaned em up. Van only has 53k miles, but wanted to do plugs wires rotor n cap. Should I get a whole new distributor assembly? I figured that little bit of slop is from factory, being that not a lot of torque is transferred through the gear, so tight gear tolerance is not needed

+Devon Morder Oooh you got some Eurotrash for me to work on? ;) Yeah Central PA is getting some fame on the internet lol

If your up for the task XD!! So then everyone on the youtubes can see how big of a dummy i am for pulling fuses on a VW and put the car in der der mode.

Yea. And when I saw the turn around point, I thought you were going to take us on a shopping trip. ;) BTW.... isn't that a "no left turn" driveway?? ;)

+Randy Gudeahn (ProTech) I'll call it the "quick-n-dirty math minute" just to keep you guys on your toes :)

Haha, that's fitting! :) And I really like how you use basic math in a setting like this as a tool to figure stuff like this out! Rarely see that amongst techs. But hey, math never lies... :D Love your channel, keep it up!

+Ozzstar you can also put in a used cluster too- just an FYI

+Ozzstar It could have an automatic pcm and cluster but came stick from factory. The VIN would say what it came with new though. It would be too much money and work to go from auto to stick. Someone probably did swaptronics to fix something and put in wrong pcm and probably cluster died sometime and only auto cluster could be found at a junkyard and had to make do with what they had. Just a possibility.

yup

I think this bucket was actually swapped from an auto to a manual. Don't ask me why lol

Youd be surprised, parts for these old chevys are cheap and easy to come by. doesnt help that chevys are basically adult legos haha

+johnwrench4speed That's the procedure for the older GM bypass distributor systems that don't have a crankshaft position sensor. This truck controls the ICM through the PCM at all times based on the crankshaft position, so ignition timing is NOT adjustable by turning the dizzy. There is no EST wire :)

Yeah JACKASS 🐴

I did a auto to manual transmission in my 98 Chevy Silverado 5.0 and it has lots more power then it did with the automatic transmission It’s like a bullet My timing off one mine I don’t have no way to set it with a scanner but from what I here u are supposed to set the retard close to 0 from what I Heard but I don’t no really

+STEVE ROB There are inspections in PA. You just need to "know a guy" lol

+motoYam82 hahahaahhahahaha like everywhere

+motoYam82 Sure big al or his evil twin chuck!

+STEVE ROB Can't do that where I live. Too many cross referenced controls.

chungaleta1234 No inspections in Ontario but vehicles that look like that will eventually get pulled over by the police and have their plates taken off if they see the holes. Ha I wouldn't want to be the guy that said that truck was fit for the road if it got into an accident. Fred Flintstone floor LOL

CravinMorehead420 didn't even notice that I wonder if ivan did

Yes with raspberry pi

+Mike Eustice That big a change may set a new code if he swaped the it. Not that it would matter with the trans codes up?

+Eddie Martinez yor correct but on those distributors they have a tab to set them up a tdc the distributors come with both locations molded into them for v6 or v8 both the sbc and the 4.3 distributors are interchangeable I was talking to get it at 0 degrees parts store mix them up all the time they even share the same cmp sensor ckp sensor it's literally just two cylinders missing

Mike Eustice could go to a junk yard and get one off a chevy motor put that in now you can set it anyway you want like off a mid eighty motor.

+Eddie Martinez exactly. I have done that many times only problem usually the gears are shot being a plastic body distributor and the load of the oil pump causes the distributor to deflect from the cam and chew the gear just passing some knowledge

Mike Eustice Not the mid eightys there alloy other than beibg worn out they shold work if there not worn not sure about the ecm working with that old unit?

+Luis Nunez Make a video :)

+motoYam82 True !!!!

Well it will be due to the transmission codes.

The off-set drive in the end of the dist engages with the oil pump drive shaft. The cam gear drives the dist. and the dist drives the o p. Once the dist and cam gears mesh, the dist drive will engage the oil pump - as long as it is not too far off. If it is, a long screwdriver can be used to align it.

or just crank the engine over and watch it fall into place ;)

@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics ya you can crank tap it in with small bursts. Or you can use a screw driver. First time install of dist. Is a bitch. A punk bitch. After you get it right on your own the first time, its a breeze.
