my day has started off good..

Nighthawk016 · Jan 26, 2015

no start on my truck this morning.. truck cranks fine but wont start. Looks like today is gonna be an awesome day.

Map sensor, CTS, TPS, IAC, all test good. Truck ran fine yesterday, attempted to drive it to work this morning and it was bucking like crazy. Got it home, it still ran. checked all above items, then pulled the fuel pump relay to look for corrosion, plugged it back in, relay clicks, but the truck will not start.

Next things to check on my list, fuel pump, spray from injector, fuel filter, spark plugs, wires, cap, and rotor.

im gonna make an attempt to replace it. the pump itself is 67 dollars. I'm calling shops now to get quotes on replacement. If it's too much I'm not sure what the plan is after that. It's really too cold out to be doing a job like that. Its currently 10*. so lets hope the quote isnt too high.

Nighthawk016 · Jan 26, 2015

Yes......but make sure you hit the tank with a recently calibrated hammer.
