I have an 87 s10 2.8L tbi i can't get it to start i when for a drive and when i got back home i had left it running and lifted up the hood i checking thinks out and i lifted the air cleaner off of the throttle body and it made a spark and shut down i check all the fuses and they are fine. I am getting spark and getting gas but won;t start. Can someone please help with what it could be? Thanks Chris

 

do you have spark at the plugs tho? do you have the proper fuel pressure? how are the plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter? yes, any one of these being worn out can prevent it from starting. and you may have gas, but is it enough? with throttle body it should be 9-13 psi if memory serves.

 

Well I'm getting fuel it was running fine until I took the air cleaner housing off while it was running and it hit something and made a spark and it just shut down I have spark to the plugs

 

Maybe you shorted out the IAC valve. Hopefully you didn't fry the IAC circuits in the ECM. Try pressing the gas pedal slightly while cranking. If it starts up, find a way to keep the throttle plate slightly open (there's usually a screw for minimum throttle opening), enough to keep the engine from stalling.

 

Ok I came outside this morning and try starting it up after letting it sit overnight and it started right up for a few seconds but not starting now but in the mornings it usually takes 20-30 mind to start anyway. Is it possible it is flooding itself out?

 

Thanks EinST did what you said and its running and it starts back with no problems. But one of the injectors is spraying fuel like it should but the other is just dripping and clue maybe dirty?

 

I guess you'll need to get the IAC valve looked at. As for the injector, I'm not too familiar with the TBI but some fuel system cleaner can help. Or, you may need to get the TB overhauled.
