I can't see what size motor you have, EF automatically censors Chevy engine sizes

I'll be the first to say it, it won't start anymore because it's a Chevy. Like a rock, who's ever started a rock?

ok, first off from the information given it's impossible to make a diagnosis. I can tell you beyond the shadow of a doubt it's not the plugs. It might be a new battery, but what are the cranking amps? A 454 takes quite a bit to turn over, I've had built 302's that wouldn't turn over with a 600 amp. Try getting a jump start from a friend to see if the extra amps help out, if not then move on to the starter. One rule of mechanicing, follow the line of least cost. A starter for a 454 should be cheap and easy to replace, most chevy stuff is. Let me know what you figure out.

can u hear the fuel pump?

yeah ive charged the batterty with jumpers and the battery is new. and it might be the pump but the pump wouldnt stop it from cranking. iam thinking the starter just found out my dumb brother ran out of gas on a trail and used the starter to pull him. cool thanks for the help guys
