Hi,
I stopped at a stop sign and when I pushed the accelerator the engine died. Turning the ignition results in the engine turning over but it will not start. It sounded like fuel was not getting to the engine. I knew that the truck had never really been worked on when I bought it. It has 150,000+ miles on it, the fuel pump and fuel filter had never been replaced so that’s where I started. I replaced the fuel pump and the in line fuel filter. I tried to start the vehicle and had the same issue as before. I checked the pressure on the fuel line using the Schaefer valve and it has pressure, checked the return line to the gas tank and gas flows when pump is active. Next I grounded all of the spark plug lines to check for spark, all were good, I replaced all of the spark plugs. Still won’t start. I used an obd scanner to check for codes and it did not return any codes scanner read PASS no codes. What else could be the issue? Thank you.
