You can test the voltage your battery is putting out by using a multimeter or voltmeter (sp?). If your battery is low, charge it with either a battery charger or booster cables etc.

Maybe check your injectors, fuel pump, all wires and connections, etc.

You really aren’t giving enough information for us to help you out too much. You need to be more specific.

any idea of what voltage the battery should be putting out? i know it should be running between 13.8-14.4 to check if the alternator is bad or not…just wondering if u can check just the battery as well instead of grabbing another hydrometer…

The battery should be about 12.1-12.7v, But a that still doesn’t mean it good. A AVR test will say it all. If you can get it done the battery voltage minimun is 9.6v at 200amps. Thats with the key off. Anyless the battery no good.
