My 350 Chevy Vortec Engine Wont Start

The Chevy 350 Vortec engine is found in different models of trucks. If you cant get your 350 to start, there are a few things that you can look at before you take it to a mechanic. The battery is the most common issue with motors that wont start. If the battery is dead or even has a low charge, the motor will not be able to turn over. Checking the fuel level, the alternator, and the starter is also recommended.

Instructions

1

Turn the ignition on your vehicle. Listen for a clicking noise. If you hear a clicking noise, get your car or truck to a mechanic to test the alternator or the starter. Mechanics have specialized tools for this.

2

Look for the gauges to turn over when you turn the ignition. If the gauges flicker on, you are low on fuel. Fill the fuel tank and start your car.

3

Pop the hood and locate the battery. The battery will have two terminals coming to it. Get a socket wrench or a pair of pliers and remove the terminals from the battery.

4

Use a can of soda and a wire bristled brush to clean the terminals. Reattach the terminals and start your car.

5

Jump start your car with jumper cables and another vehicle. Let the car run for about 5 minutes to charge the battery. Cut the car off. If the car will not come back on, replace your battery.
