Any body know how I can prime this 89 to get it restarted. Its cranking up like its about to start but not quite getting there.

crack 2 or 3 injector lines, then crank over until you see fuel spray out. You have to get the air bled out of the system.

any idea where i can take a look at a pic of what lines to open? I have the books, but have never messed with the fuel delivery system.

The lines that connect to the top of the injectors.

I have never had to bleed the lines, even when changing injectors. Crank it till it starts and then it will run like crap for a minute or two then smooth out. Just don't run the starter so long you burn it up.

thanks guys. I ended up finding the primer pump and using a little easy starter in the air intake to get it going. I did notice a decent size leak of fuel coming from the throttle body, but it seems to have stopped after I ran the truck for a while. Does that sound normal after having to prime the vehicale? I was thinking maybe the priming pressure was pushing fuel out or maybe there is a bleeder on the throttle body itself, anybody know?
