Need Help!!! Truck Wont Start

kummins84 · 11-06-2009, 05:33 PM

Today I decided to get rid of the crankcase breather canister

Rerouted to the back of the engine. I got some engine degreaser and cleaned the area around the canister and then I washed the engine at the car wash. I started the truck and went home but now it wont start.

The engine turns like it wants to start but it wont. Any ideas what could be wrong? has anyone ever done the same thing? thanks guys

Have you tried to see if you have any codes? Turn key on, off, on, off, and on. Write down the numbers that flash up on the odometer. Wait for it to say "done" twice. Repost those numbers if you have some.

Frequently the wiring harness connector at rear of engine(cowl) injests water and shorts things out. Turns truck to junk, but will offer $500.00 if otherwise in good condition.
Or disconnect connectors and blow dry with compressed air.
Look for codes also as previouslly suggested.

Check common stuff...

Check your error codes
OBD II Error Codes

Check fuses

Check relays

Check wiring connectors for moisture (as Dozer suggested!)
