Thanks. My idea didn't work. Pump isn't weak. Pump, pumps nothing. But I can hear it running. This tank has had rust issues. I think its just stopped up. Planning on replacing the tank. Had remove the filler tube or at least the outer portion and put a syphon on it. The reason I had to go through all that was the last time I attempted it with just a syphon, it hit the fuel pump and stopped and all I could get was about 2 gallons. I was FINALLY able to manouver past the pump and get the last 13 gallons out before it went bad.

i went to autozone today to pull the codes due to my check engine light being on for about a year now. but when i got there and had the kid try to pull the codes, he couldnt. he said that the data link connector could be bad. anyone know what else i could do?

When you aren't able to pull codes it usually means the computer is bad. Sometimes it's a fuse though, which I think is tied to the dome. Check inside and outside fuses. I'm assuming the truck runs so the computer is getting power, but code retrieval has a separate power. I think it's the computer memory power.

yea the truck does run, and its only gettin about 12-13 mpg. would a bad computer have anything to do with that?

Yep. It's referred to as "Default" or "Failsafe" Mode. But it's usually accompanied by more like 10 mpg.

Any suggestions on a code reader for a 92 f150 5.8 4x4. I am looking to get a code reader and want to know what are some of the decent ones
