305 TBI No Start

Had a freak frosting in VA today and tried to start my camaro this morning and got nothing but cranking. It cranks and cranks but no start. If cranking on it long enough intermittently wants to start. Hooked up jumper cables still nothing. Little bit of carb cleaner nothing. When cranking the SES light comes on and then turns off. New plugs wires cap rotor distributor air and fuel filter O2 sensor new map sensor.
Just had the motor rebuilt and put in less than a week ago. Started fine eveytime up until this morning.

Any other suggestions other than take rad cap off and pull new one under it?
Thanks

Re: 305 TBI No Start

Fuel pump relay? Might not be priming for first few seconds and has to build up oil pressure before the pump will run. Did the distributor loosen up and turn? Or maybe a wire melted, you said the motor was just put back in.

Haven't done relay but motor was just put back in. When motor was put in guy said it was putting out a good cone at throttle body. Checked to see if I had spark and I do. Another thing I thought was could it have "jumped" time. It has a mild cam but was told that did not need to chip it or anything. With it being larger than stock do I need to retard timing at all?

When cranking it sounds like it is getting fuel and smells like it is flooding out. Pulled plug n it's wet and somewhat fouled. Not sure how to put video on but will see how to link YouTube to next post.
Thanks

Re: 305 TBI No Start

if its a carb check your float level.....may have a stuck needle valve or bad floats constantly flooding it

Re: 305 TBI No Start

Did you check for spark? How does your air filter look? If you've got fuel and air, you only need spark to fire it up
