    I need a little help here. My truck just died driving down the road. I get it home and started checking it out. I didn't hear the fuel pump so I replaced it. It will crank but will not run. I've replaced a couple relays and it still won't start. Any ideas????

    Are you sure there is gasoline in the tank?

    You need to find out if it is getting Spark, Fuel, and Air. If you are getting all three it should run.

    Pull a coil out and insert a spark plug and try starting the engine with the spark plug grounded. You should see an arc.

    Hmm - I have the same year and motor - check all the engine / computer fuses to ensure one did not blow.

    If you are getting fuel and spark then the only other thing it needs is air. These things have to happen within the timing parameters of the engine.

    Sure sound like a fuse/breaker issue. Little more info like year/ modal would help some older stuff had usable link wire that can go open but not burn the wire up
