99 yukon 5.7l no crank no start and electrical compontents making crazy noises

[trevsyukon]

i recently did the intake manifold gasket and got everything back together car started up and ran like crap and shut off twice then i rotated distributer jsut a hair and now it doesnt crank over at all and when i turn the key over to on posistion all power come on but when i go to turn key over to start the engine all the electrical components in car go crazy and make a crazy noise if someone can help me get to the root of the issue youd be life saver

I replied to your other thread.

1. If you did intake gaskets, did you mark the distributor position with a marker before removal? And install at the same position? Why did you change the degree of firing order?
2. Have you checked battery voltage? Should be 12.3 - 12.6 static (engine off for several hours).
3. Did you pinch a wire harness somewhere?

This is a great forum with knowledgeable people.......but we're not mind readers or wizards. Details are key.

Have you checked battery, load test for batteries condition.

 

[trevsyukon]

yes ive tested battery the battery is good

yes i marked it and did everything like supposed to and i rotated it jsut a hair to check and see if the timming was off just a hair and after that when a turn the key over it would make a crazy clicking noise not like when a battery is dead and yes i understand details is key

If it ran in the other position why not rotate it back?

i did put it back but still no change

 

[trevsyukon]

so when i started it , motor ran rough and then died twice so i rotated the distributer just a hair barely a nickels length still same thing and then i tried for third time it would just make a clicking sound like super fast clicks and then after 4th time trying to turn key over the motor wouldnt crank over at all and all the lights and gauges were flickering and making crazy electrical sounds so then i put a jump starter on battery incase was battery and it was just make crazy clicking noises (sorry i dont know any other way to explain it) if it would help i could try and take a video of whats going on if i could but please bare with me ive never used a forum before

I would verify that you are top dead center on #1 cylinder, and reposition the distributor. The distributors on these 5.7L are rotated with the "ear" for the distributor cap screw almost hard against the back of the intake manifold.

If you had clicking and flickering, you have low voltage. See what the battery is at with a volt meter as it sits. My guess is the battery is weak, lost voltage during repair, and didn't have a good jump start connection when attempted.

1. Check voltage. If below 12v, then battery is suspect
2. Try charging overnight and recheck voltage. If 12.6v or higher then you should be able to crank motor (be advised that voltage IS NOT an indicator of CCA - cold cranking amps,). If clicking/flickering occurs, battery is bad, or connections are not tight/corroded.
3. Load test battery if needed based on steps 1 & 2.
4. Report back after following 1 thru 3
