I go to leave this morning for work an my truck won't start


I used it yesterday with no trouble at all

I have a quarter tank of gas an it is pretty much level where I'm parked

Where is the shutoff switch am what does it look like how do I know if it is on or off?

What else could cause no start

It does crank

i found the shut off switch, it is pushed down i checked fuses an relays by swapping in known working ones an still nothing,

Any ideas what the culprit could be ?

My fuel gauge says 1/4 tank maybe ill try to fill it up more from a gas can an see

I dont know i am baffled !!

If i get a solution from here i am definitely buying the membership lol
 






Maybe....try turning the fuel pump on and off a couple times. Pray like hell. Then crank it all the way and push on the gas. multiple times.
 






If this fails, take off the battery cable to reset the computer. Then try again. If you get it started, drive it carefully to a mechanic and get it checked out.
 






sorry to say it but it can be a pump issue too. if you have a helper crawl under the truck drivers side right between the cab and bed and put your ear on the gas tank. have the helper turn the key to run and listen for a slight whine like noise. no noise then your pump can be dead. if there is no noise check the fuel pressure to confirm this before buying a pump.
