I see tons of these posts on here and tried to dive in but no luck yet.
About a month ago, the wife and I were out driving and suddenly the Tahoe just died. It was turning over just fine but would not start. After pushing it to the side of road, we got it towed home. I have been digging at this thing and nothing is working. Here is where I am so far...
I have had the Tahoe for 3 years now as my work horse. Purchased with 203k miles, now at 213K. Never a real issue with the thing. About a year and a half ago I installed a new fuel pump due to a bad sending unit so no working gage. So that is fairly new..
In march I purchased a new battery due to the old one dying in the cold weather. Still running strong so not a problem there.
A few people pointed my issue to the alternator. I removed that to get a new one and the auto store hooked it up and it tested just fine. I decided to double check and took it to another auto store down the road to test as well. Tested just fine!
The auto store guys pointed me towards the distributor. Took it apart and it didn't look bad. Spun just great with the engine. I still purchased a new distributor cap and rotor just incase. No luck with that one.
I pulled one plug and another after to test for a spark. NONE!
Another source pointed me to the Ignition coil. I purchased one of those and still nothing.
Last I went to the Ignition control module and replaced that as well. Still the same issue.
Now I am left stumped on where to go next...
Like I said, I have noticed zero issues beforehand and then it died in mid drive.
