89 4 banger will not start


Recommended Posts

An '89 used throttle body injection, which isn't all that different from a carburetor (to the engine). To verify that fuel is the problem, just dribble some gasoline into the throttle body and see if it starts. It won't run, of course, but it should fire and start.

You sure the pump didn't just die?  Test for power at the plug under the truck.  You'll need a buddy to try to crank it while you have your multimeter leads on the plug.  If you see the voltage jump up to 12V, then you're getting power to the pump.

Or just hotwire the fuel pump and see if it runs.
