09 Turn Over No Start after alternator fail

Lol my other post says why I haven’t it’s 28 degrees and snow last night so it’s freezing. But it starts fine above freezing. But yes as soon as it warms up I’ll start over with compression and ohm tests

 

Some of the info in this thread might lead you to an answer. Maybe.

Yeah I was watching his video earlier honestly I’m in the same boat and have to just start with spark and fuel and compression thanks for the share I appreciate it

 

Agree with this statement.

Test again, make sure you’re getting a good seal tester to plug threads. Then use a pistol oiler, squirt 2 pumps worth of oil in and test again. Post your results.

Low compression issue isn’t gonna happen suddenly unless you do something like do an oil change and forget to put oil in. Just because you don’t feel power loss doesn’t mean it isn’t there. It’s likely you have it but because it’s been a gradual loss, you haven’t noticed.

 

Well it got

above freezing and I just drove it home

 

if you’ve been driving it, what was the issue?

 

Did you read the thread or you just here for breakfast? The issue is when it doesn’t start below freezing

 

The first sensor the pcm looks at on startup is coolant temp. I wonder what it's reading when the no-start happens. When that sensor starts to go bad they can often short out and report a crazy number like - 40 degs f. The pcm thinks the engine is super cold and it will go full rich resulting a "flood" situation like an old carburated system. Do you have a OB2 code reader? Pull up the coolant temp reading and see if it's wacky when the problem happens

 

My issue wasn't cold weather related.

It was random but it ended up being the computer. I jumped the obd connection and did a "reset" turned out my imobilizer was the problem

We got another weird one...
