(cranking) acting like it wants to start up but something is stopping it from starting i know its not the battery, the alt, starter... but what could stop it from starting??????? does the fuel pumps go out often on these trucks?? maybe a sensor keeping it from starting? you guys got any ideas that i should be looking at????? any help please!!!

My spark checker is 13 years old, the conversation goes something like this: "Come over here boy, lick your hand and hold onto this thing for a minute". It upsets my wife but saved me a trip to the store and 7 bucks. (in reply to sm3earl) Post #: 10
