    Just ordered a fuel filter I'm gonna go pick up in the morning and my buddies gonna come help me get the tank drained before work. Hoping this will work I'm starting to get worried about having to take it to the dealership. I checked the coil a and it was getting good spark from the wire, I pulled it out and reseated it. Reset codes and gonna see how how it runs after the gas.

    I got some fuel out by cranking the motor over, I couldn't figure out how to jump the relay yet. But heres what the gas looks like, I haven't seen gas in awhile but this smells super weak and looks really clear. Asked 2 other people and they thought the same thing.

    I tried jumping it with no luck and its time for work. Anyone have any insight on what I'm supposed to be poking with the wires. I can get gas to pump out by cranking over. My pump isn't loud my buddy could barely hear it when i turned the key on. I can't hear it turn on when standing there and turning the key on. I started it this morning then shut it off and came back out and it wouldn't start for a little then it barley started running then it started to idle roughly with a skip almost then it idled better. Im getting baffled with this whole ordeal. If I can't figure it out by Monday I think I'm gonna have to find a trailer and tow it in.

    Forgot to add it did the starting things a few times before this all happened. Id start it with my remote start then go out and start it back up because it ran longer than the allowed time and it would crank for awhile and finally start while giving it some gas then it revved up and was fine. It did it 2 times and threw a TPS code one of them.

    Believe me I've searched and can't come up with what I need thats why I'm asking, watched countless videos and searched countless pages. Everyone gives out terms and wire colors I don't know. Im color blind and never got into wire schematics. I have a feeling this truck is gonna be going down the road.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    For whatever it's worth... make sure the EGR valve isn't stuck open or closed and is functioning properly.

    My 7th injector is where the erg valve was. But i was just looking at the 7th injector instruction and it says to gap the plugs at .032" and mine are .043" as I seen a few running when I searched. Would that make it run like this?

    Correct plug gap might be a good place to start.

    Still think it's a fuel problem, you didn't have a problem with it till after you filled up the last time.
