I have replaced the fuel filter and fuel pump, and my truck has spark because it starts for a few seconds when I use the gas rag. I can hear the fuel pump come on, and have checked the pressure. Could it be the fuel pressure regulator or what?

I am making a donation and apologize that I can't donate more, but I just got laid off at my job.

Thanks!

Sorry it took me so long to reply, but now my computer is giving me trouble too!!LOL

Anyway, when I checked the fuel pressure it was 60 psi. I haven't been able to check or test the injectors because I haven't been able to take the manifold off yet, and I plan on doing it tomorrow.

I haven't been able to check or test the injectors. The resistances of the injector should be 11.8-12.6 ohms

Had a family emergency that took me out of town, so I should be back to do it by Wednesday. What did you mean by "resistance of injectors should be 11.8-12.6 ohms?"

You use an ohmmeter to measure the resistances between the injector teminals
