My 1989 Chevy 5 7 Wont Start

The problem of a 1989 Chevy truck that will not start can be broken down into two components: the battery and the fuel level. If you cant get your truck to start, there are several things that you can do to remedy the situation. Jump-starting the battery will breathe new life into the battery and start the truck. However, if the battery is completely dead, the truck will not be able to restart. Filling the truck with gas could be the quick fix that you need to get the truck started.

Instructions
