Please help me. My truck just started to have this problem, I was driving, and it stalled. I have installed a new fuel pump, coil, tune up. It will start up and I start to drive and it stalls again. I have to wait a few to try to start it up, It will start and drive for a while then it will stall again. The point is, I start it and drive a little bit, and it stalls out. I have to wait about 3 mins and it starts again. The same cycle evertime. Please help me.

Has the check engine light come on? Have you checked if for codes?

Let me know.

No check lights come on. The trucks starts up when its cold, you drive a while. Then you shut it off (run in the store) and go to re-start--it just keeps cranking and cranking. After a while it will start

Okay, to me it sounds like a fuel related problem. I need you to check two things when this happens. Fuel pressure and for spark. If you need directions, let me know.

Or, try this. WHen it doesn't want to start, see if it will start with starting fluid. If it does, then we have a fuel related problem. If it still doesn't start, then we have an ignition problem. Try this and let me know what you find.
