Help - Dead Truck !
G
My 6 speed 05 died the other day whilst changing from 3rd to 4th gear. Complete loss of engine power - engine just cut dead !
When trying to restart the engine it turns over on the starter perfectly, no mechanical problems, but makes no attempt to fire at all. Its as if there is no spark or fuel - or both. The 'check engine' light stays on permanently. :mad :cuss
Checked all the obvious fuel level and fuel cap on securely, fuses, relays etc but no luck. Called the dealer in N.J. who supplied the truck before it was imported and their service people were very helpful but could not diagnose the problem either. They had not heard of a non starting condition associated with the SSR at all.
I am awaiting a 'CANdi' module to be supplied to the importer of the truck which apparently is an electronic module that allows LS6 (and other) vehicles to talk to the GM diagnostic equipment that my importer fortunately has.
This is taking some time so meanwhile I wondered if anyone has experienced this or has any ideas ???
The display on the vehicle also switched to Spanish after the engine died so I expect the problem to be some sort of computer meltdown :confused
Experienced SSR technicians are not that common here in England !!
Would appreciate any help.
On the up side my gas mileage doubled as I got a tow truck home

Alive Again !
Jim G was right on the money, turned out to be the sensor which detects the crankshaft position was simply not connected properly at the factory and the plug had just come apart !
Took 6 days and a $600 CANdi module to work that out ! Wish I had known that at the roadside at 2am.
Thanks to everyone else for ideas also.
