All had been fine 2 min after turning truck off to unload, restart to have it repeatedly die at idle. Was able to limp it back into garage by revving/clutching. Fumes smelld bad-unburned fuel? Seemed so instantaneous(and the e-flashers had been on) are there fuses for this? Fuel filter? Have not yet had chance to listen for fuel pump, but vehicle will run when gassing it.

It sounds like it could be a few things. Has the check engine light come on? Also, the "e-light" is that the park brake light? Have you checked for vacuum leaks or fuel pressure?

Let me know.
