Troubleshooting a Chevy Truck That Won’t Start: What to Do When the Battery is Good
If your Chevy truck won’t start and the battery is good, there are several potential causes that should be investigated.
First, check the starter. If the starter is not functioning properly, the engine will not turn over. To check the starter, use a voltmeter to measure the voltage at the starter solenoid. If the voltage is low, the starter may need to be replaced.

Second, check the fuel system. If the fuel system is not delivering fuel to the engine, the engine will not start. Check the fuel filter for clogs or debris. If the filter is clogged, replace it. Also, check the fuel pump for proper operation. If the fuel pump is not working, it may need to be replaced.
Third, check the ignition system. If the ignition system is not functioning properly, the engine will not start. Check the spark plugs for proper operation. If the spark plugs are worn or fouled, they should be replaced. Also, check the distributor cap and rotor for wear or damage. If the distributor cap and rotor are worn or damaged, they should be replaced.
Finally, check the battery connections. If the battery connections are loose or corroded, the engine will not start. Check the battery cables for corrosion or damage. If the cables are corroded or damaged, they should be replaced. Also, check the battery terminals for corrosion or damage. If the terminals are corroded or damaged, they should be replaced.
By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and diagnose the cause of your Chevy truck not starting. If the problem persists, it is recommended that you take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.
