So, I had my interlock taken out and it was driving fine. Then after a week I was on the road and then stopped at a gas station and I was pulling out and it randomly shut off and it didn’t want to start, it only cranked. Then a few days later I bought a new fuel pump, and it started back up and stayed alive for 15 minutes then shut off again and now it just sits and doesn't want to start and will only crank and there is gas in it.

Hi,

This could be the result of a few things. First, see if it will start if you use starting fluid. If it does, there is a fuel problem. If there is no change, I need you to check for an ignition spark at the spark plugs.

Here is a link that explains how it's done:

Also, let me know if you have scanned the computer to see if there are any diagnostic trouble codes.

Take care and let me know what you find.

Would it still be the same if it’s a 3.0 liter?

Hi,

I didn't realize it was the 3.0L. However, the test will work the same. We are trying to narrow down if it is a fuel-related issue or an ignition-related issue. It will work.

Let me know what you find.
