Disconnect the battery cables and inspect for contact corrosion, if present the alternator is not charging the car's battery because of a poor electrical cable connection. Next mix a solution of one part baking soda to three parts tap water and pour over both the cables and the battery contacts, allow the baking soda to dissolve the corrosion, once the fizzing has stopped, pour more tap water to clean remaining corrosion, dry with a paper towel and reconnect cables tightly to the battery.

you need to check fuel pressure with a pressure gauge to see if its within specs.it should be around 35psi and no lower then about 32psi.your problem sounds like a fuel pressure problem and the pump should be changed as well as the filter, but check to make sure the fuel filter is not plugged as this can also cause a pressure problem.

Look for a part of that wire cable that is rubbing on metal somewhere or that some mechanic pinched under a bolt or drilled a screw through. It may take some time but the closer you look at that wire from end to end the faster you will find the problem. Blowing a 30 amp fuse means something is shorting out pretty good so go find the short. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/lloyd_4256582adacd68ee

Your fuel pump is not being supplied with adequate fuel pressure to deliver to your engine on an incline because of an obstruction in the fuel tank that changes from level to inclined. I have seen this on many vehicles over 15 years old mostly from rust, debris, and just plai bad gas. Have the fuel tank removed, cleaned and a new "Fuel Sock" (a sort of filter device made of a wire mesh) installed and the fuel lines blown out from front to rear. This should give you plenty of get up and go no matter what the angle your vehicle is in. If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/lloyd_4256582adacd68ee

How far have you got with wiring? Are you using an adapter harness?

What wiring method are you using, did you buy the adapter harness, or cut all wires and joining one at a time, or other method? Do you have info regarding what each wire from car harness and stereo are for?

check your ground connections

fuel pump or egr valve or injectors or fuel filter is clogge

chilton book

too much spark

It probably low on coolant. The heater will blow cold when there is not enough water (coolant) to keep the heater core full. Check the radiator (not the overflow reservoir) when it's cool.

Check thermostat

u may hav to remove bulb on dome-its not hard---the wiring is old or thers some module issue thats gonna take $$ n time

Check relays and fuse

Sounds like u have an air bubble. Easiest way to get that out is jack the frt of the truck up as high as u can get it with the radiator cap off and run it

Yes ur in need of a new water pump.

Are you sure its not a vac leak ?The blower may be running, but if you loose vac when you open the throttle you may loose the ability to blow air out the vents.There should be a storage tank to keep vac in the heater control system when engine vac drops.

You have a STRONG Voltage Draw on the Electrical System and it is not being able to provide the entire car with Power. Test your Alternator, you may find out that the Voltage Regulator inside is starting to fail.....Does your Radio seem to not play as loud?Is the Power Needle going down when it happens?

I would check the under hood fuse distribution box their should be a fuse that controls the starter or possibly be a starter relay
