88 Suburban Problems Starting...

[AWEGS72]

redz,
I am re-using my old throttle body that ran fine. I'm unsure of when the fuel filter was changed last,since these problems happened 3 weeks after i bought the vehicle. The fuel is a month old. Fuel is being supplied. I know this because when first trying to start it, I flooded it and put new plugs in. They were "dripping" wet with gasoline.

zoomad,
The engine came with a TBI distributor. Looks identical to my old one. The motor came with a tbi on it but the electrical connections were different as it was off of a 1994 vehicle.

I'll double check TDC on #1 cylinder and make sure of correct routed wires. I have double/triple checked them already but havent checked TDC yet to make sure that #1 wire is on #1 cylinder.

I'll keep everybody posted. I should be able to work on it tonight after work.

Thank you

Have you tried using starting fluid? Does it sound like it would run on the starting fluid? I would think if it runs on the starting fluid that there is a problem with the fuel delivery. Forgive my ingorance if starting fluid won't work with TBI, lately I've been working on chevy diesels and old Ford carbureted engines.
