Why does my truck not start on the first try?
Hello – most likely, your hard starting is caused by a malfunctioning fuel pressure check valve, or fuel pressure regulator. A leaking check valve makes the fuel pump work harder, and run longer when cranking, before adequate fuel pressure is available for the injectors.
Can ignition timing cause no start?
Incorrect timing is the most overlooked and misdiagnosed cause of a no-start. Perhaps you automatically think of ignition timing as the position of the crankshaft when the No. 1 plug fires. While this is important, it isn’t the only timing condition that can influence a no-start.
Does timing affect starting?
Hard Starting If ignition timing is incorrect and causes the spark plugs to fire too soon or too late, the fuel-and-air mixture will not be ignited at the proper time which will cause the engine to become difficult to start.

Why does my 350 Hot Rod not start?
It will kind of give a little sputter if you crank it over and over but no real firing. It was running great til the other day. The distributor hasn’t been moved so the timing should be good. Any suggestions are welcome and any help is greatly appreciated.
What to do if your Chevy truck won’t start?
Divide and conquer! Spray some starting fluid into the carb throat and try starting the engine. If it sputters or starts and runs for a brief period, you have a fuel issue. Eliminates guesswork. If not, continue diagnosing by checking spark and compression. edb1961 July 5, 2016, 10:48pm #6
