    1994 Chevy 1500 5.7 TBI Running Issues

    So, I was having intermittent starting issues. Threw parts at it: battery, starter, battery cables, still no joy. Just a click at the starter several times then it would crank.

    Do not use clay bar

    Just a caution to others with original paint: I used clay bar on my '94, it did clean up well but after a year the roof & hood got sunburned. I guess what little clear coat was remaining got wiped off.
