Yeah, twistedturbine, the engine computer controls the injectors. You're on the right track. Good luck, I hope you get it sorted out.

Problem solved! Turned out the computer was fried. Drove the truck home the other day. Cost me 95 bucks for the computer, i lucked out and found one at a wrecker near by.

Most likely though since they helped themselves to the battery, I'd help myself to their wallet for 2.5x the cost of the part. (Ya know for markup and labor.)
