Hello people. This site has helped me many times over the years but now I'm stumped and need advice.
A little backround-i have an 88 2wd regular cab long bed with a 2.3 and a 5 speed. Last week I went out and started the truck, it started right up and ran as usual, then died while idleing in the driveway now turns over but wont restart. I did the usual tests-strong spark from all four plugs. I can hear the inline pump running. Fuel squirts strongly from the schrader valve when I press it. Spraying starter fluid into the intake makes NO DIFFERENCE. If you have spark, that means fuel is likely the issue, then it should start with starter fluid right?
Im Stumped. Any help would be appreciated as my son is coming to town this week and I dont want to have to ride the bus around while he's here lol.
Thanks in advance!
