Title: 87 swb tbi 350 won't start????
Post by: Kody021 on December 11, 2010, 09:29:23 pm

Well went to start my truck after I had driven it approximately one hour ago and when I went to start it.....nothing! I turned the key on, check engine light came on as usual, turned the ignition and all lights went off and no power! So I checked all connections and tried it again and nothing at all, not even the check engine light.

So I let it sit for a while and go check it again. Now the dome light and check engine light come on like usual, so I turn the ignition over and all lights go off again, so I turn the ignition off and back on and all lights come back on, so turn the ignition over and it all goes dead, so I try it a third time and nothing comes on.

I've checked battery connections, starter connections, and the battery is fully charged, so I'm kinda lost at what it could be! Any help would be great! Thanks

Starter itself maybe? Tap it with a hammer

Check your fusible links

I've checked the ignition fuse, what other fuse should I check?

Fusible links...

They are not fuses...

They are wires that melt when to much current goes thru them...

Oh ok, I guess I'll get to checking wires then. Lol
