It has 60+psi fuel pressure/pulse test at injectors ok/runs if primed through dome on it's own gas.......so it seems to have fuel pressure and spark... any thoughts???????????????

I own that engine and it's never even skipped so I haven't had to dig into it, T tim(c'ville) New User Sep 17, 2006, 9:01 AM Post #3 of 4 (3880 views) Re: 96 5.7l vortec won't start Sign In thx for the reply. the truck runs fine when primed through the dome....would it do so if the timing was off?

If timing was that far off it would probably only stumble at best with priming it. These are pretty tough engines and don't generally eat up timing chains but there are lots of items that elctronically control it. It would help if you could get codes from this.
