Hello Hello again.... Well went outside after work in the below freezing temps in the dark, and ol reliable once again has proven not to be reliable. Started her up and went about 15 feet, the she stalled out, and wouldn't start again. I hear the fuel pump whining, the starter is turning strong. Shes got 1/4 tank of gas and i dont think its cold enough for it to be a cold weather related problem, it sounded fine when it started for that few seconds. and it stoped quite suddenly. Im thinking spark, since the fuel pump is running... so im trying ot put together a laundry list of what to do when I find a ride up there tommorow to work on it, heres what I got so far...

1. Check codes
2. Chck relays and fuses, check for spark
3. Curse and kick truck
4. Have ignition coil and maybe that stupid TFI module tested
5. Check distributor cap and that one wire that runs from distributpr to coil
6. Check fuel pressure, if I find a fuel pressure guage laying around
7. Curse more and go home and cry

Any more suggestions guys?

 

Generally your plan covers everything, the only suggestion is to replace cursing with saying something nice to truck, and exclude kicking . Sometimes it helps

 

Alright, well after priming the fuel pump about 30 times, and a little cursing just for kicks the truck fired up reluctantly, now she seems to e running strong again, although it blew a coolant hose on the way home, but oh well that was an easy fix, Thanks guys.
