The truck when you push the gas pedal doesn't take gas. I've put on fuel pump, cam sensors, plugs, coils, injectors, throttle body, throttle body sensor, mass air flow sensor, fuel filter, and still does the same push down gas pedal and doesn't take gas. The RPMs go up for about 3 seconds and then it just shuts off. What is your suggestion I try next? Thank you!

Hi,

It could be several things. By chance, is the check engine light staying on at all times? Have you tried to retrieve codes to see if there is something stored that can help?

If you haven't, that is where I would start.

Here is a link that explains how to scan the entire can-bus:

If you have already done that without success, have you checked for a possible plugged catalytic converter?

Take a look at this link and let me know if anything mirrors what you are experiencing:

Let me know as much as you can.

Take care,
