Does not start. I turn the key again and starts just fine. I had the starter replaced twice and had auto. Shop looking at it for 2 weeks and cannot find the issue. Any suggestions? It has 5.7 with 190,000 miles. I take very good care of it and always take it a professional shop I trust for any repairs. timitaoe User Jul 18, 2013, 2:39 PM Post #2 of 5 (1254 views) Re: 2004 Tahoe starter issue Sign In my brother had a problem like this disengaging problems. went to a couple shops could not find nothing wrong. i put a shim on it to bring it a hair more away from the flywheel and it fixed the problem. you can get a shim from any autopart store for less then $3 or i just made one out of an aluminum can.

Next turn of the key it operates correctly Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jul 19, 2013, 2:35 AM Post #5 of 5 (1230 views) Re: 2004 Tahoe starter issue Sign In That would be normal. The computer controls the cranking cycle so that is not your issue. You need to find out why it didn't start on the first attempt. I would monitor the fuel pressure during the first attempt to start it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
