Dod delete NO START

[TxJonathan]

2007 Chevy Suburban 5.3 ltz
160k miles
completely stock minus the delete kit from texas speed consisting of:
non dod valley cover
non dod stock cam
16 non dod lifters
new standard volumn oil pump
gaskets,bolt,etc.

The reason installing the kit is because cylinder 4 lifter collapsed.
installed kit, first crank it ran for about 15 seconds then died. tried again then ran for less than that then died. it now only cranks over. The start was attempted with no tune when i finished. The vehicle is now tuned with dod delete. i'll post the tune below. im completely new to tuning and have been following youtube videos and forums with no luck. currently the vehicle still only cranks even with tune. i have fuel, i have spark. i have physically checked every connector, ground, harness and see no damage.When it came to timing i lined up the two sprockets dot to dot according to all sources i looked up. i have tried carb cleaner in the intake, tried plugging the old valley cover into the connector while cranking(hanging off the side not installed under the intake). Checked all of my fuses and relays under the hood. Spark plugs are less than 6 months old but cylinder 4 plug was replaced due to it being fouled out from the collapsed lifter. i currently have no codes being thrown. ive checked with a small pocket scanner, hp tuners and an larger autel scanner and no codes even after cranking. Vehicle does not have VVT. Its my wifes suburban and just trying to make it reliable by getting rid of these bullshit gas saving systems. Whether a solution or even a direction where to look would be extremely helpful considering we only have one vehicle now. Also im open to learning as much as i can so any other resources to look to would be appreciated. I will update after every test or suggestion I attempt as soon as I do them.

DOD deletes will start and run even with the stock tune. They will be running on only 4 cylinders with the solenoid codes set but they will start and run at idle surprisingly well. The fact that it will not run on starting fluid says it does not have spark even though you said it did. If it ran at least 15 seconds it should not be the cam timing. Probably missing or a loose ground having to do with the coils would be my guess. Does the scanner show RPM when cranking?

[RDF1]

What front cover did you use? The factory one for the VVT? or a plane one with just the cam sensor?

[2xLS1]

No VVT on a 07 5.3. Even with no cam sensor it would eventually start.

[TxJonathan]

I'm going to do a deeper diagnostic tomorrow but yes it does show rpms on the HP Scanner as I'm cranking

[TxJonathan]

So far I checked voltage for my ignition A and B and both read 12 volts. I cleaned and tighten ground for injectors on passenger head. I used an inline Spark tester on all 8 cylinders and do have Spark. I have fuel at the rails and read 57lbs on hp scanner. With that being said would be the reason for the no start with the carb cleaner. Also when I initially started for the first time today it started but then bogged down within 5 seconds

[GHuggins]

Fuel on the scanner isn't correct. You have to use a gauge. Almost sounds like the plugs are fuel fouled or something? Might not be a bad idea to pop the injectors up out of the intake and then cycle the key on and look for one stuck open.

[TxJonathan]

I'll try that next now that I know for sure I have spark. Not only did I use an inline tester, but I pulled plug and cranked it while still connected to coil. It sparked as well. But with that being said shouldn't spraying carb cleaner in the intake tell me I'm having a fuel issue?

[TxJonathan]

Last night I double checked my timing and made sure it was correct. It was dot to dot with cylinder 1 at TDC so thats not the issue. I went ahead and did a fuel pressure test and inconsistently got 30-40 psi. I believe it's the fuel pump but before I drop a new one is there any way I could've messed with the fuel pressure? Only fuel related thing I messed with was un-doing the fuel line from the back of the intake. I triple checked it and it has no leaks, I also checked the lines going under neath the body and no leaks as well. I'm hoping it's unfornateing timing but trying to cover all my bases before replacing something unrelated.

[RDF1]

Sorry for the dumb question, but does it have enough gas in it?

[K&Dmech]

Have you looked at the plugs to see if they are saturated with fuel? Pull the plugs out, remove the relay and turn it over several revolutions. Then put the plugs and relay back in and see what it does. I worked on a truck a while back that wouldn?t start. Tried carb cleaner, nothing. Pulled the relay and plugs then tried again. It started. It was basically flooding. Ended up being a bad coolant temp sensor. It’s a long shot but worth a try.

[TxJonathan]

Yes half a tank

[TxJonathan]

I'll give that a shot because the plugs do have fuel on them but first I'm going to change the pump because I did further testing and the fuel rail read 10 psi one day then no psi after multiple tries. I tested it with key on no cranking. Made sure gauge was working by testing on my sierra and got 70 psi key on not running. I did bump my coolant temp sensor and broke a little piece of plastic off but still makes solid connection with no wiggle room but doesnt hurts to make sure.

For the hell of it I'd even disable the VATS with a write entire and try that.

[michael78]

did you get it running?if not i can help you or get you help

[TxJonathan]

Hey guys sorry for the late reply been super busy but yesterday I replaced the fuel pump and now have 70psi at the rail so I for sure I have fuel pressure now. The truck started and ran for a couple seconds but just long enough to where I was able to rev it then it died again. Now it continues to crank only. Something I've noticed is that it almost always starts/dies or almost starts on the very first attempt of the day. Every attempt afterwards it just cranks.

[gtstorey]

I doubt your tune is set up for 70psi.

[protekautorepair]

Check ground on back of driver side head, it?s easy to forget and will cause several weird issues. These trucks are pretty simple

[TxJonathan]

My stock 11' gmc sierra has the same psi

[TxJonathan]

Already did, removed that one and the passenger side head ground, cleaned all the connections with a wire brush and made sure they were tight.
