my truck wont start, use to be it would act like it wasnt getting gas, you put more gas in it and it would start, now you cant even do that to get it to start, changed the fuel filter and still wont start, was told to blow threw it , if its hard to blow in then it may have burnt the pump or fuel modual( or something like that)is thre anything else we can check before shelling out 300.00 - 1000.00 to fix this??

Do below to determine if its fuel or spark issue

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,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, ECM,Ignitor cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
