    Hi guys, so before I bring my truck to the shop I figured I’d see if I can get any new ideas here. Just the other day while driving, I started having a sputter under power (felt like a misfire). Pulled over shut the truck off started back up and ran fine.

    The next day, i hopped in and started it up fine to move it into a spot where I could check out what might be causing the sputter. Coils all were working fine and all plugs had spark (as they were just recently replaced). Decided to try and clean out the MAF sensor. Put everything back together and now it will not start. Truck will crank and almost turn over but will not fully start up. Sounded like it was not getting fuel so we tested the fuel pump and that was working just fine. Next step was to check all grounds and fuses. All seemed to check out fine. Also checked for any issues with the igniter but it seems to all be connected right.

    Tried starting with a jumper pack for a little more juice and still nothing. Pretty much out of ideas at this point and looking like I wil have to bring it to the shop.

    Any ideas of what this issue may be would be greatly appreciated!!

    How did you test the fuel pump? Just because it runs and fuel comes out of the line doesn't mean it can build enough pressure to run the truck, you really have to put a pressure gauge on it to know for sure.
    Have you checked for spark?
