My 2004 Chevy Blazer extreme at the same thing running down the road I'll send it turned off could that be the same problem that's happening to mine too since yours is 07 and mine is a 04
Dude… this solved our problem with 2004 5.3 reg fuel. He had no 5v signal coming from the ecu to all the coil packs… cranks, but no spark. changed crank, cam sensors, coils, wires,plugs, rear o2 sensors, 1 fuel injector, had mechnics look at truck…no fix. truck got stranded and towed once… 3 weeks of this crap… and it turned out to be this exact same ground issue… note… we had to run a tap ground to both cylinder banks… no more misfires, truck run fine now. … thanks for adding the passionate explanation and the …we fixed it with an old 6ft extention cord for the tap grounds. Could have fixed this for $0 …I feel your aggravation…. This likely applies to all GM 5.3 and possibly 4.3 and others… bad GM grounds. Thanks for sharing! Hope this helps many! Frank
Your the man, I did everything, new coils new crank sensor , watched tons of videos, knew it was something electrical, finally came across this video and bam 10 minutes later she’s up and running.
I'm having the same problem. I just can't SEE exactly what he did here. I'm a chick that isn't stupid with cars and mechanics but what do I need to get: a ground snap? How do I connect it to what wire? The black ground. I get that, but do I peel back to expose the wire? How do I connect? I need simple steps. Please. Where do I get a ground snap? I'm not calling and paying a mechanic. I am the mechanic.
This ground that over time corrodes and needs the eyelet replaced is under the left exhaust manifold near the front of the engine. Follow the negative ground from the battery down to where it meets the small ground wire that attaches to the main ground on the engine. If you look through the bottom part of the wheel well with a flashlight, you can see the 13 mm ground bolt that holds the grounds to the engine. From the top side with a 13 mm deep socket and five-inch extension on my 3/8 drive ratchet I could loosen the bolt. The bolt is short, so when loosened reach down and take it off by hand. The small, loomed wire which is short coming out of the harness is the one you need to replace the eyelet. I replaced with a shrink wrap type eyelet that makes the connection waterproof. Hope this helps with this repair.
Dude I can't thank you enough for the help! I have an 04 Silverado and it's my work horse and parked it running fine then went to start it and just cranked and cranked. NO SPARK, GOOD FUEL PRESSURE I was stumped for several hours came across this video did exactly what you said and BOOM back in business!!!
I got talked into fixing a truck for a friend. I was about to tell her to take to the dealer when I found this video. Thanks for sharing this info, That was the problem.
Wow. You just got my 2003 Silverado 5.3L started an hour ago! It all started when I went outside one summer morning to start her up; she cranked but would not start...just like your video. Changed the plugs and plug wires, checked engine compression, checked fuel pressure, etc, etc. There was no spark at the plugs. Since the dang truck has no distributor, I was lost and the truck just sat there for months. Was about to give up and take her into the shop and likely get hammered for $1000 likes you said. After 25+ youtube videos I stumbled across yours...spliced in a new ground just like you showed me...started up 5 min later like new! Thanks very much. I just made a $25 one-time payment to your Patreon.

You my friend are the man! I've been scratching my head and motherfing everything. Did this and solved my problem, spent $500 in parts today and still nothing until I replaced this ground, thank you!!
Just tried this on my 2004 z71 Tahoe and it fired right up. I been through so many new parts and even a whole column assembly and didn’t get any results until I tried this! Thanks a million!
HUGE THANK YOU! No codes showed on my reader. After a month working on my 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 checking videos and replacing parts, had it checked professionally for codes. Still no codes. Checked many more videos with no success. Had it towed to a good mechanic who had it for months. Replaced more parts. Had it towed home because all he says it needs now is a fuel pump which would have been another $600. Replaced the fuel pump and Still Crank and No Start. FINALLY FOUND YOUR VIDEO - HAD IT RUNNING IN 5 MINUTES!!! You and your video saved my truck! Thanks again!
You are a gift from God my brotha! My truck has been sitting more than 2 months not knowing what was wrong with it. I replaced the fuel pump, maf, map, crank position, camshaft position sensors and none of them seem to work until I came across your video!! Thanks brotha!
I have spent thousands now chasing this issue. From Camshaft & Crankshaft Control Modules, Throttle Body, Ignition Control Module to no avail until I found this video!!!!! Thank You!!!
FINALLY, AWESOME VIDEO!! I am having the same problem with my 05 Escalade, same motor. Had it at 3 shops so far with no solutions. If i have to drag it home AGAIN, this will be the 1st thing I look at. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks so much for this video.. I couldn't figure out what was going on with my truck n I seen this video n tried it n now it's running better than ever before. I'm moving n everything else n put 200 plus in my truck so this video helped me so much.. thanks so much
You saved my day. My 2005 Chevy truck did the same thing. I was getting ready to haul in for junk price and ran across your video trying to find out why it just quit. Thanks for posting. 5 minute fix and good to go.
'04 avalanche 5.3l, truck rough started for a week then just died. Had it at the mechanics, spent $1000 trouble shooting, replaced computer and nothing. Had it towed home and was going to clean it out and sell for parts when my buddy sent me this video. And now I don't have to sell it because this fixed it! Thanks!
Man I know you heard this before but thank you, your vid just saved me from going insane. I can't afford dealer prices and without this vid I wouldn't of been able to get to work and I would've been up shits creek. Ty again.
I want to give you a BIG shout out, you are a God send. We are financially broke and couldn't figure out what was wrong. Watched your vid ,even though was lil worried, we were like what do we have to lose. In about 10-15 min your trick worked on our, 04' Chevy avalanche. Thank you very much ❤
I have a 05 Tahoe 4.8 doing the same shit. I did put a crank shaft position sensor, same thing cranks but does not run. Then I seen your clip, gotta admit, I was optimistic and doubtful. Did exactly what you did etc, now it runs no problem, the highlight is the ol’ lady is off my back......for now. Thank you much!!!!!
Thank you for your video, I have a 2003 GMC that stopped running on the highway didn't have no idea what was wrong and you saved the day. I just want to thank you very much.
My man.... I know this is an old video, but i owe you a huge thank you. The motor siezed on my 06 2500, and I swapped the motor out with a good one in 2 days. Spent the last 5 dayd trying to figure out why the damn thing wouldnt start. 35 yezrs ive been workimg on cars, and still hate/cant get used to the electronic bullshit. I dont care who says what about your fix, my truck runs now. I did the same thing you did and the damn thing runs. Thank you!
This absolutely helped with my suburban 5.3. Although I had to run a new ground from each side. Soon as I did it fired up and runs great...thanks for posting this video
Life saver, thanks brother! I replaced cam and crank sensor. Checked everything i could think of, spent hours and hours looking it over. Did this trick and boom running within 2 minutes.
What he did i cant undrestand his english he give ground wire which is red colour to black colour is this black colour wire of coil or distributor?? Plz tell me
Thank you sir!!! I've been looking all over my suburban" changing spark plugs'wires, fuel pump' and knock senors!! And ran across this video and bam, that was it, same ground!! Runs perfect now!! Before it would run 10-15 minutes and then shut down!!
Just fixed my 05 avalanche with this fix. Thank you for your help.. edit... After more research I learned that the ground for the coils is on the front passenger side of the engine block. I fixed the original problem and don't need this extra ground anymore.
Big Shout out and thank you bro, I’ve been working on a 76 GMC truck that we dropped in a 2007 5.3 and for the life of me I couldn’t find the problem. Same exact conditions that yours was doing.I followed what you explained and that did it, she’s running like a champ. Keep it up this was a big help.
Worked exactly like the video. I always try the cheapest options first when you are throwing parts at it, and a wire and a few connectors under 20 buck who knows how much money and time you saved me. Thanks man God bless you.
I just got stranded at tha dump truck just turned off was there for an hour figuring out wat was tha problem came across ur video did wat you said nd BAM started thanks bro video really helped
I have an 04 chevy hd 2500 with the 6.0 in it and I was having the same problem crank but not start, tried this in the video and it works, she lives again thank you
Bro thank you so much for this video,me and a buddy was in his Tahoe when it just died on the high way and while waiting for a tow I came across this video and bang I fixed it til we got to the nearest part store and she’s been running great since! Thanks again bro!💯🙏🏽
@@CantKillMeSay my man's I know nothing about cars wondering where that piece on a 2000 Silverado I would do that too. I'm literally having a crisis. Like literally
My 2005 Chevy 3500 just shut off and died / replaced the crankshaft sensor no luck, saw your video and spliced the black to ground strap no luck, tried going directly to battery and started right up and is running great / thanks for this tip and Happy New Year
Brother you have saved me over $900 dollars in parts the mechanic said I needed. I had the same exact symptoms and did just like u did with ground wire and BAMMM!!! RUNNING PERFECTO!!! THANK U SO MUCH!!
Thanks so much for your video. I have neighbors who are mechanics who looked at my vehicle that couldn't figure it out. I was thinking it was electrical. Befoe buying and replacing parts I searched videos a few days to try to toubleshoot and to narrow it down. I came across your vid and tried it. Shazam it worked. God Bless.
I just want to say thanks countless tries and mechanics I have a 04 silverado crank no start jumped the ground on coil harness and started right up thanks again
Man, Thank You, Thank You. After replacing spark plugs, crank sensensor, camsahaft sensor,wires and half my brain and time,.... etc...etc...., 5 minutes following your fix and boom, the truck started right up. Thank You.
Hey Can't Kill Me. Thanks for taking the time to film this video. I am an avid DIY youtube publisher and know exactly how much work it takes. Your symptoms and my symptoms were identical. I checked fuel pressure (good), compression (good) and finally spark (bad). I verified there was a poor ground on the black wire before adding a jumper to the firewall ground stud. All good now!
Got the fuel pump changed, then the mechanic changed the crank position censer but in the end your video saved the day. Thanks. My truck was a 2006 silverado extended cab with 5.3 L
GOD FUCKING BLESS YOU MAN! I’ve been getting attacked financially and I wasnt going to make it. But you have given me hope again !! I TRUST YOUR WORD OTHER THAN ANYBODY ELSE AT THIS POINT
Thank you for this Information......My Nephews Truck is a 2004 Chevy Silverado 4.8 Liter....Regular cab (118/119/120 Wheel Base however you measure we measured Center to Center) 78" Bed ( Shortbed ) Ordered a Fuel Filter $12 from Rock Auto could not find it on the Rail.....found out it was in the Tank.....Called the Dealership they said $800 or more for Fuel Pump ( do not know IF it is an all in One or IF the Fuel Filter is seperate in the Tank etc. So we came across your Video.....Told Dad to try it so he watched the Video and skinned back the Back Wire Ran a Jumper Wire and Grounded it AND....... IT FIRED RIGHT UP......$AVED $$$$$$$$
I'm having the same exact issue with my truck. Good job on that find for a fix. Because I was about to get a cam sensor, crank sensor coil packs, and plugs, but your advice did the trick. Good lookin out bro. I appreciate it, and my wallet does too lol
Wish I would have seen this video sooner! My truck did the exact same thing and I did exactly what you said to do and fired right up. You are the man! Thank you so much!!
You sir deserve an appluse from me and everyone else this video helped! Thank you so much for taking the time to video this and love the honesty at the end.
Dude thank you so much! You saved my ass. I had not been able to figure out the no spark issue on my avalanche for the past couple of weeks and your 7 minute video solved my problem. I can't thank you enough and I'm going to share. #avalanchenosparksolution
K this lil genius Made my day! I love you man. Same problem on my Silverado, no codes, good fuel, but no spark. Ground points all good, sensors good, rpm reading cool, spark advance cool, so Hooked a ground up to that lil black wire like he shows in the video and shazaaam bam runs like a top. Cheers bud! Thanks for the video
I did exactly what you said I replaced the fuel pump but your wire truck worked and when I take the wire off it dies just like yours thanks Tom from Boston thanks your the fucken man
thanks for the video. my 03 silverado done the exact same thing. has been a nitemare for over 2 months now. seen this video and in just a few minutes it started up and i finally got to drive it for the first time.
I won’t to say thank u so much for this video I spent $500.00 and still could not figure it out Intell I seen this video it was the ground so thank u rom the bottom of my heart
Thanks! This video led me in the right direction. My issue was with the ground that goes from the firewall to the back of the block. This was my fix. I bought the same oe ground wire and ran it from the firewall bolt to one of the alternator bolts.
Holy fn sht dude! That was it.. I got this 04 5.3L chevy truck into my shop. ppl thought it was a remote start issue. It started then died & wouldn't start no spark.. Had no communication with the scanner.. so great.. cps was a thought but no scanner pain in ass to confirm. Tested the coils had power and ground.. well a weak ground only hold 10v back to battery. Put the jumper on and it started right up. Saved me time and hassle, I didnt want to have to deal with a nightmare today... Research pays off before throwing parts and guessing. Thanks buddy!!! I'm in the money today, appreciate.
@@CantKillMe cool, I found the air box was loaded with a mouse nest and signs of their activity under the intake, so I'm guessing they got to the the ground. If you ever need to do a 6.9 powerstroke heater pipe without pulling the intake I have a vid on that.
Wow I cant thank you enough for this video!!! This was exactly what was wrong with my dads truck and it had been 2 weeks figuring this out!!! Your the best keep up the good work!!!
I was about too send me trucj to the shop in the morning and just saw this video so I tried it and sure enough after a week it fired right up. Thank you so much. If you got cash app or zelle ill send you 50 bucks right now
Thanks, I was 80 miles from home when there was a total loss of power. Had no clue what was going on cause it happened so fast. Got stuck in a bad place on a road so was forced to use tow truck because I tried to turn into a parkinglot a little early so got stuck on a curb and it was impossible to move my suburban by pushing it. Got screwed on the towing cost to move it 100 feet (almost $400 for 100 feet distance). Anyway, tried this and connected it to ground and it started running like crap with a really loud tick, but after a few minutes of running it sounds normal. I'm assuming that the PCU had to adjust. But at least it started running. I'll update tomorrow to see if the tick is something that happens when it's cold vs warmed up, hopefully not and the computer just needed to correct itself. Also, I found it strange because I tested the wire to see if it was connected by connecting positive to the black wire's pin and it was lighting up fine. No idea why that was working but the car wouldn't run like that.
man had this problem happen to me exactly today....everything is alike but mine is not 4x4....they lag on cranking and everything then just went out while doing 55-60 mph....I know what I gotta do tomorrow...thank you saved me hundreds of the scarce bucks
I'm not a mechanic and not good with electrical issues. I don't have the finances to pay a mechanic to fix his truck if you can tell me where I would find this ground wire on a 4.3 liter I would be much appreciative thanks for any help you can give me
You are a rock star! Made some loot from your video. Meanwhile the "Professionals" are throwing fuel pumps, crank pos sensors etc at this guys truck and all I do is snip a wire and ground it. Boom! Thanks dude!
So my 4.3 ltr is a little different and i only have one coil on the passenger side right next to my icm, do you know where it is? My truck has been sitting for 3 months
Thanks man I have been working on my truck for about a month on and off and I found your video today I went out and tried it it fired right up I really appreciate your help! God bless 🙏
Very helpful thanks I just finish with my 2003 Silverado ss was looking all around till I see your video thanks again I promise u most of the dislikes coming from people that works at the dealer or idiots with nothing else to do I give you 200 starts ...my respect ..and I'll be working for 26 years but never is to old to learn new things thanks again have fun with repairs 👍😀
Well done! my 2005 1500 silverado did the same thing and all i heard was fuel pump, cam sensor, crank sensor, coils, battery, etc. Simple Ground FIXED! :)
Hey buddy I wanted to say thank you very much just got off of a 16-hour shift working my ass off pouring concrete all day got back to my vehicle and it wouldn't start I did exactly like you said and she fired right up thank you very much
I have an 04 with the 4.3 in it with the same problem. My problem is I don’t have the same set up as you and don’t know which wires your actually using. Anyway you could lead me in the right direction?
Will give it a shot . I have fuel no spark .now I put a test light on the hot and put it on that black wire . And the light came on . I will try the jumper wire though thanks

i followed your tip and your information worked perfectly thanks a million my 2005 GMC sierra is running again. Frank from N.Y.
Worked exactly like the video. I always try the cheapest options first when you are throwing parts at it, and a wire and a few connectors under 20 buck who knows how much money and time you saved me. Thanks man God bless you.
Glad it helped

BUDDY YOU FIXED MY PROBLEM! THANK YOU SIR! I rebounded both sides of the coil harness. Started like a charm
Glad it helped
@@CantKillMeSay my man's I know nothing about cars wondering where that piece on a 2000 Silverado I would do that too. I'm literally having a crisis. Like literally
My 2005 Chevy 3500 just shut off and died / replaced the crankshaft sensor no luck, saw your video and spliced the black to ground strap no luck, tried going directly to battery and started right up and is running great / thanks for this tip and Happy New Year
Your idea worked I spent a lot of money trying to figure that problem out I found your channel and I watch and it works
Brother you have saved me over $900 dollars in parts the mechanic said I needed. I had the same exact symptoms and did just like u did with ground wire and BAMMM!!! RUNNING PERFECTO!!! THANK U SO MUCH!!
Glad I could help
Thanks so much for your video. I have neighbors who are mechanics who looked at my vehicle that couldn't figure it out. I was thinking it was electrical. Befoe buying and replacing parts I searched videos a few days to try to toubleshoot and to narrow it down. I came across your vid and tried it. Shazam it worked. God Bless.
You're welcome!
I just want to say thanks countless tries and mechanics I have a 04 silverado crank no start jumped the ground on coil harness and started right up thanks again
Man, Thank You, Thank You. After replacing spark plugs, crank sensensor, camsahaft sensor,wires and half my brain and time,.... etc...etc...., 5 minutes following your fix and boom, the truck started right up. Thank You.
yep
Hey Can't Kill Me. Thanks for taking the time to film this video. I am an avid DIY youtube publisher and know exactly how much work it takes. Your symptoms and my symptoms were identical. I checked fuel pressure (good), compression (good) and finally spark (bad). I verified there was a poor ground on the black wire before adding a jumper to the firewall ground stud. All good now!
glade it help you
Got the fuel pump changed, then the mechanic changed the crank position censer but in the end your video saved the day. Thanks. My truck was a 2006 silverado extended cab with 5.3 L
GOD FUCKING BLESS YOU MAN! I’ve been getting attacked financially and I wasnt going to make it. But you have given me hope again !! I TRUST YOUR WORD OTHER THAN ANYBODY ELSE AT THIS POINT
Thank you for this Information......My Nephews Truck is a 2004 Chevy Silverado 4.8 Liter....Regular cab (118/119/120 Wheel Base however you measure we measured Center to Center) 78" Bed ( Shortbed ) Ordered a Fuel Filter $12 from Rock Auto could not find it on the Rail.....found out it was in the Tank.....Called the Dealership they said $800 or more for Fuel Pump ( do not know IF it is an all in One or IF the Fuel Filter is seperate in the Tank etc. So we came across your Video.....Told Dad to try it so he watched the Video and skinned back the Back Wire Ran a Jumper Wire and Grounded it AND....... IT FIRED RIGHT UP......$AVED $$$$$$$$
Thank you so much spend all day trying to get my truck fixed and cam across your video. You saved my day
Glad to hear it
I'm having the same exact issue with my truck. Good job on that find for a fix. Because I was about to get a cam sensor, crank sensor coil packs, and plugs, but your advice did the trick. Good lookin out bro. I appreciate it, and my wallet does too lol
thanks man I was broke down for three weeks before I saw this video had it running in five minutes you the man
Yet another truck brought back to life because of you man. Thank you so much!
it worked after i already paid for fuel pump & crank sensor...no fire until i did this.. thx bro
Wish I would have seen this video sooner! My truck did the exact same thing and I did exactly what you said to do and fired right up. You are the man! Thank you so much!!
Glad I could help
You sir deserve an appluse from me and everyone else this video helped! Thank you so much for taking the time to video this and love the honesty at the end.
Glad it helped!
Dude thank you so much! You saved my ass. I had not been able to figure out the no spark issue on my avalanche for the past couple of weeks and your 7 minute video solved my problem. I can't thank you enough and I'm going to share. #avalanchenosparksolution
K this lil genius Made my day! I love you man. Same problem on my Silverado, no codes, good fuel, but no spark. Ground points all good, sensors good, rpm reading cool, spark advance cool, so Hooked a ground up to that lil black wire like he shows in the video and shazaaam bam runs like a top. Cheers bud! Thanks for the video
your welcome
I did exactly what you said I replaced the fuel pump but your wire truck worked and when I take the wire off it dies just like yours thanks Tom from Boston thanks your the fucken man
Lichen share this video it works he fixed my vehicle thank you
thanks for the video. my 03 silverado done the exact same thing. has been a nitemare for over 2 months now. seen this video and in just a few minutes it started up and i finally got to drive it for the first time.
You Rock! After 5-6 hours of my time, I watched your video and you nailed it. Couldn't believe that this was my problem all along. Thank you so much!
AirRagnar where am I connecting the wire too
I won’t to say thank u so much for this video I spent $500.00 and still could not figure it out Intell I seen this video it was the ground so thank u rom the bottom of my heart
Thanks! This video led me in the right direction. My issue was with the ground that goes from the firewall to the back of the block. This was my fix. I bought the same oe ground wire and ran it from the firewall bolt to one of the alternator bolts.
Glad it helped!
Holy fn sht dude! That was it.. I got this 04 5.3L chevy truck into my shop. ppl thought it was a remote start issue. It started then died & wouldn't start no spark.. Had no communication with the scanner.. so great.. cps was a thought but no scanner pain in ass to confirm. Tested the coils had power and ground.. well a weak ground only hold 10v back to battery. Put the jumper on and it started right up. Saved me time and hassle, I didnt want to have to deal with a nightmare today... Research pays off before throwing parts and guessing. Thanks buddy!!!
I'm in the money today, appreciate.
anytime thats why I put it out there for
@@CantKillMe cool, I found the air box was loaded with a mouse nest and signs of their activity under the intake, so I'm guessing they got to the the ground.
If you ever need to do a 6.9 powerstroke heater pipe without pulling the intake I have a vid on that.
Wow I cant thank you enough for this video!!! This was exactly what was wrong with my dads truck and it had been 2 weeks figuring this out!!! Your the best keep up the good work!!!
your welcome
What a great video! Thanks a million man! Saved me a lot of headaches, time, and money. Works just like you said.
This worked for me on my Chevy SSR 6.0 LS2. Thank you!
You nailed it .
I was about too send me trucj to the shop in the morning and just saw this video so I tried it and sure enough after a week it fired right up. Thank you so much. If you got cash app or zelle ill send you 50 bucks right now
anytime
Ur the man my truck died I n me on my way at home 2 days ago saw this and now my truck is back up and running
Thanks, I was 80 miles from home when there was a total loss of power. Had no clue what was going on cause it happened so fast. Got stuck in a bad place on a road so was forced to use tow truck because I tried to turn into a parkinglot a little early so got stuck on a curb and it was impossible to move my suburban by pushing it. Got screwed on the towing cost to move it 100 feet (almost $400 for 100 feet distance). Anyway, tried this and connected it to ground and it started running like crap with a really loud tick, but after a few minutes of running it sounds normal. I'm assuming that the PCU had to adjust. But at least it started running. I'll update tomorrow to see if the tick is something that happens when it's cold vs warmed up, hopefully not and the computer just needed to correct itself.
Also, I found it strange because I tested the wire to see if it was connected by connecting positive to the black wire's pin and it was lighting up fine. No idea why that was working but the car wouldn't run like that.
man had this problem happen to me exactly today....everything is alike but mine is not 4x4....they lag on cranking and everything then just went out while doing 55-60 mph....I know what I gotta do tomorrow...thank you saved me hundreds of the scarce bucks
Thank you for the info. Fixed my no spark issue on my 2006 6.0.
I'm not a mechanic and not good with electrical issues. I don't have the finances to pay a mechanic to fix his truck if you can tell me where I would find this ground wire on a 4.3 liter I would be much appreciative thanks for any help you can give me
Did you figure out where it is on a 4.3 motor?
@@KevinWest-ki8db no
I just finished swapping a 5.3 shortblock out of a wrecked 99 silverado into an 03 sierra & u saved me a bunch of time chasing & second guessing
You are a rock star! Made some loot from your video. Meanwhile the "Professionals" are throwing fuel pumps, crank pos sensors etc at this guys truck and all I do is snip a wire and ground it. Boom! Thanks dude!
thanks
Brother you saved my ass cause I didn't know what else to do watched your video did what you said truck cranked right up thanks
So my 4.3 ltr is a little different and i only have one coil on the passenger side right next to my icm, do you know where it is? My truck has been sitting for 3 months
Works on 2004 Silverado 2500HD 6.0. Thank you so much for uploading this
Thanks man I have been working on my truck for about a month on and off and I found your video today I went out and tried it it fired right up I really appreciate your help! God bless 🙏
Glad I could help

I have an 04 with the 4.3 in it with the same problem. My problem is I don’t have the same set up as you and don’t know which wires your actually using. Anyway you could lead me in the right direction?
What connector is that? I can’t find it on my 2006 Silverado 1500 4.3 v6. I’m having the same problem. Please help
Where you able to find the connector? I got the same engine
Thanks for the vid. Worked on my wife's Yukon that wasn't starting but turning over.
