Hello,

I went to work this A.M. in my 1990 Toyota pickup truck. All things seemed to work fine. 1/4 tank of gas, started right up, ect. After work I get in my truck and it would not start. The car turned over fine, the battery is good, but would not start, so I am very confused as to what the problem is. Right now I am guessing something that causes the truck to start is out of whack. Do I need to replace the spark plugs? I tried using some of that starter spray by spraying it on my air filter. Could my fuel line have frozen up? As a side note, my truck has started in much colder weather than today.

Im stumped as to what to do up in the north here in Duluth, MN
