    Hello
    I was driving, when all the sudden my truck shuts off, Gas is full, battery is like new. Its cranking, just not turning over. So this tells me its either ignition or spark. I was thinking it is the fuel pump, so i got starter fluid and sprayed it into the intake, made a noise like it was about to turn over, but then nothing. what do you think this could be? I have a strong feeling its the fuel pump.

    Could be the EFI/pump fuse.

    Check those first.

    And double check that you're getting spark by pulling a plug and grounding it.

    start with the easy stuff first. electrical connections, fuses etc. many times i thought the problem was bigger then it was and it ended up being a bad connection somewhere. goodluck

    Could be the EFI relay. Try swapping it with the 'power outlet' relay (they are identical).
