Thank you. This fixed my 95 chevy k1500 Its been driving me absolutely insane. I just happened to watch your video and I immediately ran out to my garage and I am amazed and very thankful for you posting this video. Truck is running great now
At first it sounded bizarre how that is possible ...but i did have trouble wit my truck also installed new coil but also didn’t think the bracket would help as ground ...so i gave it a shot an sand it real nice n clean on the bracket and wer it bolts on ..and yes it definitely started right up ..so GOD BLESS YOU for uploading this video 🙏🏾
I hope it helps, too. Lucky for me my '91 K2500 didn't quit while I was out running but just wouldn't start after it got me home recently. Lots of fuel, cranks over for as long as the battery - only a few months old - would last. When I get back to it I'll have something new to try, thanks.
.....haven't dug into it (again) yet....I did already change cap & rotor, ignition coil, and ignition module...no spark. will be cleaning contact points for the bracket. Thanks for the idea :-)
my brother what you said in your video makes no sense the coil do not have to be grounded to get spark i have a 1990 k5 blazer 5.7 same set up and my coil is not even bolted down so i dont no what you are talking about
@@chrisventris6650 yes, thermal paste. If you don't apply the paste or dielectric grease it will prematurely kill the ignition module, has to do with heat transfer
@@charlesarcher3438 I'm glad you figured that out, I would like to mention, do not get the thermal grease and dielectric grease mixed up, ignition control modules usually come with both, if you get them mix up you will either strait up fry the module or significantly shorten the life of the module. I think that's why these gm icms get a bad rep. Also, in a pinch you can use anti seize if you don"t have thermal grease, and you cant use just any grease, that will also fry your module.
So I had a no start issue. I drove my 93 suburban and came home. Went back out to move it and wouldn't start. Found no spark. Checked fuses, etc. I replaced coil and ignition module. Still nothing. When I installed coil, I wire wheeled brackets and etc since coils ground to plenum. I got to a point where I gave up. Ended up finding bad ground on coil. Not sure how as I said I wire wheeled coil brackets and everything to ensure bare metal contact. Ended up adding a ground wire to coil and put to frame. Now it runs🤷.....update. days later, not running again.
I have an '89 350 TBI..no start..no fuel..I DO have air and spark..does the ignition coil need both bolts for mounting to the intake? I noticed I only have the one installed which holds the throttle cable bracket in place. Could a missing ignition coil bolt make the fuel pump not turn on?
Thank you.

I'm glad I could help someone
Been eating coils since doing headgaskets when I painted the intake…. Thanks for the upload it’s much appreciated.

I’m having the same issue replaced the ICM, cap and rotor, ignition coil. Did you fix it?
@@user-mw9xg6pv1vi did all that too. And the o2, along with the map sensor and still no change. I'm so lost lol.
Same situation bud. One thing that I haven't tried yet. Thank you for the share.
Thank You! Dealing with same condition on my '92.
Did u have the same issue?

Sure thing also if your pick up coil died will do the same
Thank You Very Much - great info :-)
Having the same problem with mine. Will have to give this a try!

In my truck if the coil is not grounded the coil will fry, mabey I have another issue but I also keep killing my ignition module
@@charlesarcher3438 so have you figured out what kills your ignition module
@@charlesarcher3438 did I figure out what was fryen the icm
@@chrisventris6650 yes, thermal paste. If you don't apply the paste or dielectric grease it will prematurely kill the ignition module, has to do with heat transfer

Welp if it stalls again , pull the distributor and check the cam teeth gears skipping, that usually is the stall on those...🕶️🤫

did you fix it?
Did you fix it?
well did u fix it
You mean to tell me I fried my new distributor because I didn’t clean the bracket that bolts it to the manifold?
It will fry the coil
charles Archer I feel as if your messing with me because that simply makes no sense
Has nothing to do with the distributor . the bracket that holds the coil down has to have good clean grounds or it will fry it
its always the little things that take a big chunk out of our time.
Took me a while to figure this out, I still have the truck to this day and it's running great

Mine has been running with one bolt but I have added a few extra grounds to the bracket and it's been fine
I have a question more. My truck is sparking from the passenger lower firewall behind the exhaust manifold any idea what it could be
Ground wires, clean and replace all grounds to feame and engine
Could also be a bad plug wire
Where did you add the grounds to?
Added one to the intake ground and one to the firewall
Coil pickup
Not buying it the two bolts act as a ground
