Hello, I have a 99 F 150 and it has had a delayed start for about 4 years. The engine light indicates the EGR, so I replaced it. The light still comes on despite trying to reset it. It stutters or jerks hard at speeds of 55/60. Now I drove it and it ran fine, but when I parked it and tried to start it, she just cranks but does not turn over. Please help. Could it be the fuel pump?

Do below

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
