2017 XLT Crank No Start

[Spotted Bull]

Hello. This is my first post in this forum. But now that I know about it I am sure I will be back.

So I drove my 2017 XLT with about 140,000 miles on Wednesday evening. Filled it up with fuel and drove it home. No issues at all. Bought it used and never really had a problem before. Changed the battery here awhile back. But that's it. Got up Thursday morning to get breakfast burritos and it won't start. It will turn over and never catch and start. I checked the fuel pump fuse and its fine. If it cranks awhile, you can smell fuel, but it just won't start. I'm sure I am putting way too much fuel in it. So I won't try again until I get some help from the folks here. I have a Forscan and checked the codes, and it came up with a P0230 code. So I am stumped. I would hate to have to get this thing towed to a mechanic shop or the dealership.

Welcome to the Forum
When you noticed the gas smell did you try starting it with the the accelerator pushed completely to the floor?

I tried to do that late yesterday, but it was acting as if the battery was about to die. I will try it this evening or tomorrow morning.

Sorry, I overlooked the code you mentioned. It could be possible fuel system issues.
