Removed battery now no start

[DavidMoore]

1999 gmc jimmy ,replaced evap coil,condenser,compressor, dryer ,on this year model the passenger fender,wheel well,anti-freeze bottle ,pcm,battery, headlight assy. must be removed. replaced all fine but when i replaced the battery and tried to start it up to charge a/c system it would not start,tried the gm security -key on 10 min./off repeat x 3 no help, checked for un-pluged wires, when i crank it for extended time it sputters and blows smoke out of carb for a few seconds,motor was not turned or bumped over ,it was running fine until it set for a week during repair,service engine light is on,was not before. i have not pulled codes yet, any ideas until i can get codes pulled:

update p1351 code

A lot to read, her is the code readout from GMC:

DTC P1351
Circuit Description

The ignition control module (ICM) has independent power and ground circuits. The circuits between the ICM and the powertrain control module (PCM) consists of the following circuits:

The ignition control (IC) timing signal
The IC timing control
The low resolution engine speed signal
The medium resolution engine signal
The camshaft position signal
The low reference

The ICM sends 3X signals to the PCM, and controls the timing advance during engine cranking. The timing advance changes to PCM control after the following actions occur:

The PCM receives the second 3X signal
The PCM applies 5 volts to the ignition control (IC) timing signal circuit.

The ICM monitors the CKP sync signal when the engine is cranking. The CKP sync signal is passed from the CKP sensor to the ICM on the CKP sensor 2 signal circuit. The CKP sync signal is used to determine the correct cylinder pair and initiate the ignition coil firing sequence. The 18X reference pulses are passed from the CKP sensor to the ICM on the CKP sensor 1 circuit. The 18X reference pulses are used for fuel injection and ignition control. After the ICM receives both signals, the ICM passes the 18X and 3X reference signals to the PCM. The CMP and the CKP sensors share a 12 volt reference and low reference circuit. The CKP sensor consists of the following circuits:

A 12 volt reference
A low reference
A CKP sensor 1 signal
A CKP sensor 2 signal

Conditions for Running the DTC

The engine speed is more than 600 RPM.
Conditions for Setting the DTC

The PCM detects an open in the IC control circuit.
The condition is present for 300 3X reference periods, or 100 crankshaft revolutions.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids

The engine will start and may run with the ICM controlling the spark timing.

Thanksfor the info. RMasters

1351 caused by long continuious cranking,cleared code ,no return,have strong spark to all cylinders, sprayed starting fluid in throttle body and not a peep,nothing, is ther a trick to this with these 4.3 engines ,always thought spark, fuel, air, it should atleast try to fire

 

[RMasters]

I'm sorry, I can't help you with that, have no idea what to do in cases like that, except what I do, take it to the shop.

Hopefully someone might have an idea. Don't you have a friendly neighborhood mechanic around?

Best of luck.

I unfortunately cannot start my own topics yet.. however I have a battery problem. I got my GMC Jimmy 2000 Diamond Edition cheap because of engine problems, I had an engine from an S10 98 Blazer, popped it in works great. However the original battery kept dying and needed to be jumped until it died completely. Replaced it with a fairly new battery and the same issue happened, we though it may have been something to do with the CD changer clicking over and over since that's all we could hear when the truck was off, as of now it seems to been staying fairly alive and it is a brand new battery this time around. Could the CD holder have been a problem? We have shut the dome lights off, made sure every door is shut, and that no lights have been left on.

I only drive my Jimmy 2 or 3x a week around the neighborhood because I have a car for my daily work commute. Anyone ever experience battery problems with their Jimmy's?

If I use starting fluid, I have to reconnect the intake so the MAF sensor sends the proper info.
My 96 acts weird like this if the key has been left in the "on" position for a few minutes. Crank but no start. I was also messing with the battery seeing how I was installing a stereo.

I know how frustrating it can be to have things working, then have it not be working after something simple.

Also, if the gas gauge says 1/4 tank or in that region it could be lying. Mine did when I first got it and it drive me crazy! I was going through lists of things I had done in my head and it didn't make sense. And then I thought of that scene in Slingblade when ol' Billy Bob says "you put gas in it?"

Let us know if you get her running.
