Yeah. I just though of that. I wonder if the timing belt snaped. I will pull the upper cover and see.

Thanks...It wasn't the timing or the timing belt. Now I am leaning to the neutral saftey switch. This is kinda new to me as I have never owned an auto trans mini before. I think when I was working on the stereo, I knocked the switch out of alignment. My Haynes manual says it is on the pass side of the trans. I used the little shifter release lever to get the shifter out of the way, while I was working on the radio. I can't think of any other reason for it not to start.

Either that or I have a bigger mystery than I can handle. Does anyone know if you can buy one of those plug-in diagnostic computers for our trucks? This one is EFI and Auto trans. After I see that it has spark and fuel, my diagnosis abilities are shot....

I think theres a plug in the engine bay that you ground out and the check engine light will flash a certain number of times and tell you if there are any problems. Thats how it is with b2600i's anyway.

if it turns over really fast and easy you have a problem. since u have ur timing cover off - first start by watching your belt when someone tries to start it.

Well, I worked on it some on Wednesday night...and no luck. I am still thinking it is the neutral safety switch. I think I am going to bypass it temporarily at the trans, with the truck on jack stands to see if I am right. The shifter has been flakey since I got the truck and I think maybe when I was workin' on the radio, I disconnected/ knocked somthing out of alignment. Anyone know of a plug in tester for these trucks? The timing belt seems to function. I think it is getting fuel, and the spark is good. IDK.....It sucks to drive by it every morning, all laid out on my driveway.

I know...I just seems like I am always behind this desk at work. Today I was here when the sun came up, and I haven't benn able to leave yet. Tomarrow I will get it working, or set it on fire, or both!
