Default 1999 K2500 GMC SUBURBAN- Crank, No Start

So I知 scratching my head and puzzled. 17 years of working on vehicles and I知 overlooking or missed something, wanting to pick all the brains here in the forum. My friend calls and asks for a tune up on his burban. He says plugs, wires, rotor, and dist. Cap, oil, and filters. Then he makes the remark that it may need a fuel pump, and definitely wants a new fuel pressure regulator put on. I don稚 really question or second guess him.. and he drops his car and leaves. I go to bring it around back to my shop and it takes several spins to get her to crank, I ease around to my shop and it dies. I call him up and he says this trucks been running rough, sometime it gets warm and shuts off and requires some time sitting before it値l crank back. I had a 0339 and 0336 code, checked the CKP and it seems we have good ground, good voltage, but unsure after testing the signal wire that we have strong current coming to it. I致e been thru the wires, not extensively but I致e checked them 2 to 3x and I see no obvious issues in the harness. I do have rat leftovers dropped in the usual places for a farm truck.. my ECT sensor test out good, coil is new, ICM is new, plus all the tune up components. I pulled the plenum a second time and checked the distributor, button is seated right, the distributor top is firmly still fixed to the distributor shaft. Throw some thoughts and ideas at me if you would because I知 about to the point of a new ECM. The odd part is we had fire when it came in, and now No Fire.. smh. Thanks in advance.

Those CSFI injectors are junk and is what is probably causing the rough running, stalling etc. Upgrade them to the newer style injectors...





Then continue on with the full tune up. Don't worry about the fuel pressure regulator. The new injectors come with it.

Will vehicle start and run as long as you spray carb cleaner into the intake?

If it continues to run, after you stop spraying, try replacing the fuel filter....

with a scan tool can you see cranking rpm.do you have any scan data.did you blow the ecm fuse. with no spark did you check the primary side of the ignition.Just a few quick thoughts and hope this helps.
