I was driving the truck up through 9/2010 but had it staryed several times. I just recently tried to get it running, but it won'f start, I put a new lock assembly in steering column. It has gasoline because I put two cans in. Can you HELP ME?

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, Do you hear the fuel pump come On when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if okay-check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, cap and rotor, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing

Have you checked to make sure the fuel pressure to the engine is within spec? Is it getting a good hot spark to the plugs?
