    Hooked up battery backwards

    I’ll do some research on that and see if I can test that. I’ll update on what I find. I Appreciate the input.

    Hooked up battery backwards

    I would love to hook a scanner up but I’ve had trouble finding a obd1 scanner anywhere online. Do you know of anywhere I could find one for a not outrageous price.

    Hooked up battery backwards

    Just hooked the battery back up and… no SES light. I am going to to my best to follow the service manuals and get this fixed myself. I do have a multimeter but it is giving me trouble now too of course (when it rains it pours), it shows overload even when trying to test my 12v battery no matter...

    Hooked up battery backwards

    Because I had been taking the battery on and off repeatedly the terminals going to the posts were loose enough to just drop right on, didn’t clue in to what I had done until I saw the smoke from the fusable link. The key was in the off position. I’ll do my best to check everything you mentioned.

    Hooked up battery backwards

    Thanks for the reply I will definitely keep all of that in mind when troubleshooting. I’m fairly new to all of this especially when it comes to electrical so any tips you can give me when it comes to troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated. I just wanted to note that when I checked my fuse...

    Hooked up battery backwards

    I have a 1989 k1500 that I’ve been working on for a while. Recently I made a real big F-up. I have both fenders off so I’ve been setting the battery on the wheel to hook it up. The other day I was taking it on and off repeatedly and I ended up making the mistake of hooking off the battery up...

    Low voltage at fuel pump

    They are the same colour, as what goes to the pump, you can see the harness sitting in the top right of the photo. I was able to do some more testing and came to find that I do have decent voltage (11v) going to the power wire for the pump when the key is turned over. Although it drops down to...

    Low voltage at fuel pump

    It’s a 350 tbi, I’m unsure of the transmission type. It’s just the one fuel tank. I’ve read a few times about the oil pressure sending unit but I haven’t really looked into that much, maybe I will try and check it out tonight. Also regarding the wiring diagrams, I have a physical copy of the...

    Low voltage at fuel pump

    I have a 1989 k1500, I’m trying to figure out how to test the voltage to the fuel pump. I used a volt meter connected to the pump ground to test the harness that plugs into the pump but I’m a little confused. I tested the the purple wire in the harness and it only showed 8 volts so I figured...

    Chevy 350 won’t idle

    As soon as the engine stops I’m able to turn the key and start it again. When it does idle it seems to be at a good speed and it can run fine for a minute or two fine. Also seems to die regardless of the throttle position, if I try and give it gas as dying it dies regardless.

    Chevy 350 won’t idle

    I have a 1989 k1500 with a 350 in it that won’t idle. I’ve replaced the fuel filter, cleaned the ground for the fuel pump (which is relatively new), new spark plugs, new pcv valve. The truck almost always starts but never fails to die. It might run for two seconds or it might run for 2 minutes...
