Hi,

After driving home from work 25 minutes I got back in my truck to go to an appointment and it wouldn't start. It turns over but won't crank up. The first time this happened I waited 10 minutes and it started back up and I drove it home. The next day I bought a new battery and the problem never happened again until today. My truck is parked in my drive way and have a half of a quarter tank of gas in the tank. I would like your feedback before I buy parts that I'm not sure will fix the problem. Let me know what you think?

Not to sound like a dope but how do you check fuel pressure on a 2000 F-150.

Follow this link or the one in 007's post! It shows a video of how it's done, rent a test gauge at a parts store!
