C6 will not start
Hey guys i have a 2006 C6 and does not want to start , the ignition cranks but simply will not start, battery is fully charged, checked the fuel pump and it works, does anyone know what the problem might be? I was driving one day and the car simply lost power, started chocking and it died , after i got the car towed the next day it has started and runned for about 15 sec and died again. Now the car doesnt start it cranks ( turns) but will not start

Fuel pump may be turning on...but you need to have pressure and volume as well, if you have fuel pressure and volume, I would next check for spark (G.M. has had major issues with their Crank Sensors) just a couple quick things to check, let us know what you find.

I have tried disconnecting the battery and still no results, I checked the fuel pressure in rails and there is no pressure at all, Im guessing it might b the crank sensor, problem is there is no check engine light. I just wanted to see what you guys might think before i send it to the dealer> I really appreciate all the replies, thank you

From another thread:
...Flat-bedded "KILLER" to the performance shop that does my work. The first thing the mechanic did was to run a connection directly from the battery to the fuel pump and he got it to fire up...So, it looks like a loose connection in the wiring somewhere. I mentioned to him to check the connection in the passenger fender near the door...
