Truck will crank over as normal, no thrown codes. We checked all fluids, replaced the rotor and cap, and now the crankshaft position sensor. There is no fuel getting to the rail. We sprayed starting fluid in to it and it started right up but dies soon after. Any ideas?

Hello,

This sounds like a classic fuel pump failure, do you hear the pump run when you turn the key on without cranking the engine over? If not let's check the pump fuse and relay to confirm the pump failure. Here are guides to help you test the fuse and relay.

If okay here are diagrams to help you change the pump out with a guide to help walk you through the steps.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Get a new pump from Amazon for $133.00 works great!
