Bad starter? Bad alternator? Warped flexplate? Removing starter and alternator to have them tested. Gas is coming from the driver side valve cover air hose, when it does crank...

 

told ya it wasnt over Ha Ha

 

What could it be?

 

Ok first, what were you doing to the truck when this issue started?

Second why do you have a flex fan mounted backwards on that thing? That is a very good way to have alot of damage very quickly. Where is your clutch fan and fan shroud?

Also can you turn the engine by hand? For future reference, if the engine does not turn with the starter it not a good idea to just keep trying to force it.

 

Turning the engine over, I had just drove it maybe 20 minutes before this started.
The fan was on there when I bought the truck.
It turns over but just barely when it gets to a certain spot. I thought maybe the belt was bad so I took off the belt. But it still did that.

 

is that hose thats leaking gas connected to the plenum. That covers the regulator you just work on?

 

No that hose comes from the driver side valve cover. To the air duct.

Also, I tested my battery and alternator, they're fine. Having trouble getting the little negative wire nut off the starter (what size is it?). Starting to look like a bad or failing starter...

 

There should not be gas under the valve cover. forget the starter, thats not your problem'.

 

What would u suggest it is?

I have a K&N air system...this is the hose it's coming from. The other end attaches to the drivers side valve cover

A better look at the fan, is it on backwards??

 

One there should be no gas under the valve cover, this is very bad. And the fan is on backwards, this is very bad also. Your engine may screwed
