Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Engine Troubleshooting haupt_mark New User Feb 6, 2012, 7:49 PM Post #1 of 4 (2305 views) 2006 silverado having problems starting Sign In I have a 2006 chevy silverado with the 53.l engine that has recently shown a problem. Within the last month it has gotten worse. When I turn the ignition, the motor will crank. ndsthe motor will start-sometimes immediately, other times it will take anywhere from 10 seconds to thirtry seconds of cranking before it starts up. The only thing I have done is replace the battery but that is mainly because the battery was dead. I wish I could give more details but I really don't know where to start. I am looking for some advice where to start and some common things that cause this problem. Any help would be great.

Also note what the pressure does when the key is shut off, whether it holds pressure for a while. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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. haupt_mark New User Feb 6, 2012, 8:27 PM Post #3 of 4 (2267 views) Re: 2006 silverado having problems starting Sign In just for reference-what should the pressure range be for nominal operation? Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Feb 6, 2012, 8:31 PM Post #4 of 4 (2262 views) Re: 2006 silverado having problems starting Sign In Fuel Pressure (Key ON, Engine OFF) ---- 385-425 kPa (55-62 psi) You should see this almost immediately and it should hold within 5 PSI for 1 to 2 minutes when shut off. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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.
