The truck has a manual transmission and it drove fine except for it would cut off as I came to a stop. Well, I came to a stop and was trying to do a burnout. I got my RPMs up and popped the clutch and the truck stalled out. It has not started since not even when I sprayed starting fluid in it. I even got pulled and popped the clutch to start it and it tried but bogged out. The only code it is throwing is fuel level sensor.

It sounds like the crankshaft angel sensor went out which will not leave a code but to be sure we need to check the ignition system for spark.

This video will show you how:

Here is the location of the crankshaft sensor so you can change it out. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens. If it has spark, please upload a short video of the engine cranking over so I can tell if the engine is damaged. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
