I have the truck listed above zr2, extended cab/third door with the nv3500 five speed manual transmission. Nothing aftermarket on it. The truck has been serviced and maintained regularly since it was new. It has 278,000 miles. Replaced the distributor and put a complete upper gasket set on the engine as well. Now the engine cranks over but will not start. Checked timing, fuel, and spark. Still no start. I've checked and double checked everything. I even used a Chilton manual and went over everything. Can't figure out what is keeping it from starting. Crankshaft position sensor? Pass lock/anti-theft deterrent? I'm at a loss. Fuel pump kicks on when key is turned on. The truck ran great and the distributor gear broke. That's why I changed the distributor, and, in the process, I went ahead and changed the upper gaskets. Now, it won't start. Has spark, fuel, air. Far as I know or can tell, the pass lock isn't on or any other security stuff. But I'm not 100% sure. It has half a tank of gas. All the lights work inside and out. Put an OBD code reader and scanner on it and I'll I'm finding is an ABS code for a wheel sensor. Any ideas of what to check, how to check it? Also put a splash of fuel in the throttle body still wouldn't start. I feel like it's in theft deterrent mode or something. I've literally read the entire Chilton manual and checked everything on it over and over. So, it's something simple I believe and I'm just overlooking it, or something is showing its working but maybe not working to its full potential. I'm not sure. I'm at a loss and don't know where to go from here. I cannot afford to take it to a dealer or automotive shop. I am mechanically inclined. So, I can do whatever and I have every tool to do it with.
