The first thing a mechanic would check is for power and a ground signal for the coil. The pickup coil in the distributor sends a signal to ground the coil. The coil sends the spark to the distributor cap thru the rotor to the plug wires.

SOURCE: Spark plug issues on GMC Safari early 90's.

The simple fix would be to get a ratchet and spark plug socket and tighten them. First remove the plug wire from the plug and then use the socket to tighten them one at a time so you do not get the wires mixed up as to which one goes to which spark plug. Tighten them slowly to avoid breaking one of them but do not over tighten them either.

Could be fuel pump, is the pump running when you turn key on, you should be able to hear it. You are likely going to have to take it to someone with a pressure gauge to make sure it is getting proper fuel pressure. Fuel pumps commonly go on these vehicles

1991 land cruiser inline 6 running fine then died while driving. Electrical seems ok, engine cranks but won't start. Fuel pump? Alternator? thanks

check for spark first. if theres spark then crack a fuel line while trying to crank to c if theres fuel getting pumped to the injectors. always start with the basics then go from there.

My family van is a 2002 Safari van would not start last night, when we tried jumping it still would not start. We even tried starter fluid! My dad thinks that the gas froze from the ethanol and is frozen...

But it should start if you put the Starting fluid in. Is there any spark at the plugs ? Try to pull the one of the spark plugs wires and put it close to a metal space then crank it again and see if there is any spark , You can hear it sparking.

My gmc safari wont start. I was driving and it lost all power. would not start back up. replaced fuel filter and spark wires.

remove a plug wire. install a plug . lay it on the intake and have someone crank it while watching for spark. no spark. turn key on see if your fuel pump comes on . you should hear it. If not you could have one of two things bad.Ignition module which is inside dist or crank sensor by the crankshaft pulley. hope this helps. you can have the module tested at oreillys or auto zone.

Gmc safari van cranks over, but will not fire up or start.Have tried starter fluid and still no start. Has plenty of crank,but no start

I had the same problem with my 2000 GMC Safari two years ago....drove me CRAZY!

Sometimes it would start right up...other times it just would crank and not start.

It turned out to be a cracked coil....I found it by using a spray bottle with water in it, and "misting" the engine, at night....with the engine running. (On a night when it DID start!)

It took a while, but finally the hairline crack let in some water and the electrical short showed by a spark coming out of the coil.

I replaced the coil with a new one, and it has never "not started" since.

Evidently the coil cover gets brittle and develops small, hairline cracks due to heat from the engine.

Oh...by the way....I tested the coil it showed that it was fine!....but it took the "misting" at night...in the dark...to find the spark "leaking" out.

Check for moisture in the distibutor cap and dry it out. Also check for a spark at the sparkplugs when you get it running. The spark must be blue, not yellow. Replace coil if it's yellow.
