My neighbor has a 2002 2WD with the 3.0 V6 and it will not start. Yesterday took it in for an oil change at the dealership, drove it home, later in the day it will not start. It was showing a P0175 and P0305 codes. It is getting fuel pressure up to the fuel rails, spark to the spark plugs, and we have just changed the Crankshaft position sensor after reading a few posts. Any suggestions or pointing me to the corrects posts would be appreciated.

Went back out to the truck and pulled a spark plug, notice it was wet with fuel, put the plug back in then got in the truck put the gas pedal to the floor and held it there, the first try it acted like it wanted to start, the second try it did start. Let it run until it went out of high idle shut it off and tried to restart. Had to hold the pedal to the floor again. For some reason it is flooded. Hope someone can help me figure out what is happening.

Thanks,
