I don't know, but when he unscrewded the cap off the line when after he checked the pressure fuel was still comin out. The only reason why i;m concered, is when I told him about the code that was pulled up P1351, he said he could get any codes b/c the car want run and without it runnin he can't confirm that code. I told him about me pourin gas in the body and the startin fluid he just laughed and said it the feul pump.

I sprayed some startin fluid in the throttle body and it never made my truck run. We also put gas in their also and it never made the truck run. The pressure readin was 30. The price he game me was 186 for all the parts and 300 for labor. For towing and dignostic it all come down to 650

I have one more question, well I'm going to pick up my truck and repair it my self. My question is when after I replace all those ignition parts, I did another check on my spark plugs. I still have red spark. Should I have a blue spark or am I just stressed out behind this issue

1st thinks 1st you need the truck to start /run
and after that you can check the spark quality
and replace coil if you wish

Okay, I just put on the fuel pump, filter and my truck is still doing the same thing. Could the computer or chip be fried. What else it for me to do. Even when I put on the timin chain could it still be off timin.I've changed the hot wire from the battery to the computer and all the coils.

Compression is done by removing a spark plug and using a compression gauge
crank engine
injector pulse remove injector connector and you can use a light bulb # 194
band the wire end on the bulb to fit in the wiring plug and crank engine watch for it to flash
check fuel pressure too
get a sample of the fuel and test it

Okay, I will try it. But as for as the fuel goes, I emptied out my tank when I replace the fuel pump.I can go to auto zone and buy a compression gauge, where is the injectore connector located. Should I by a fuel relay. Thats the only thing I didn't replace.

Good u empty the fuel out

Lets make sure u have a good spark
injectors are under the upper intake manifold
(the plastic plenum.)
lets clear the coil out the way
we had so many problems with them coils and cap + rotor
lets start at the spark and make sure we have a good and strong spark
