tbi issue

[5025speed]

My 89 crew cab was sitting for awhile now won't run. Fuel pump buzzes , will start by squirting gas down tbi. Will run for 15 seconds or so with both injectors flowing. Was running and starting fine last fall. Where do I start ?

check fuel pressure. fuel pump may be gummed up from bad fuel.

Try using some Sea Foam in it and see if that helps to clean it out as well, once you get it running.

Might be a dumb question, but are you getting oil pressure when you crank it? I think there is a safety feature that will prevent it from running if the computer is not sensing oil pressure. Just something to think about. Let us know what you find!

Thanks for posting that troubleshooting chart 44th Miss Inf, I could have made good use of these a couple of weeks ago while trying to determine if my fuel pump was bad.

I just want to say thanks for all the help, especially the trouble shooting diagram. I had a wiring issue at the alternator! I guess if you don't give up even an old guy can win. Thanks again everyone.
