1991 Chevy 1500 4x4--WONT START! And will die

[WhiteZ]

Hey, i just recently bought my chevy. Its a 1991 Chevy 1500 4x4. It has a 4 inch lift and a 2in body lift. Its on some 31s. About 4 days ago, it died on me. Just randomly. but started perfectly fine 2 minutes later. Its been doing this more frequently lately, and now it wont even start. I have no idea what to do. Someone please help me! I greatly appreciate it!

Thanks guys


and by the way, this is my first CHEVY!

I used to be a ford guy, but chevy seats are so comfortable! ha

Two things to check for first. Spark and fuel. Pull a boot off a plug check for spark while cranking. And you should be able to see fuel spraying in the throttle body.

My first suspect is fuel pump. You can get a gauge to tee into the line behind the throttle body. Don't replace the pump though until you confirm it doesn't work, and is getting power at key on.

If it just dies, no power to anything, check battery connections. Check battery, check power to starter and any of these wires for corrosion. That is where I would start. simple first.
