Just got in the truck, drove 200 feet and it shut off. Spark plugs are fine, it’s getting a spark, it’s got gas, fuses and everything are fine. What’s else could it be?

Hi,

If you have spark and fuel, it should run. Do me a favor. See if it starts for a couple seconds using starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, we have a fuel related issue. It could be the pressure is too low or the injectors are not firing.

Here is a link you may find of interest. It discusses the most common causes of a crank no start condition.

Let me know what happens when you try starting fluid. Also, let me know if there were any odd sounds when it stalled and if it sounds normal when cranking. If possible, record it and upload it so I can hear the engine cranking.

Let me know.
