Hello!
I come to you with some issues we're having with my truck that we've been trying to diagnose for over a week now.
I checked the other posts but none seem exactly what is my issue, or we've already tried those fixes and still isn't working.
If I drive my truck for more than fifteen to twenty minutes and cut it off, it won't start after. It turns over but doesn't catch. Sorry if I'm not lingo-enough for this, but I can try to verify what we know so far.
So far, we've done this:
Verified the fuel pump is working properly
Changed the spark plugs and verified that they all work, are firing, etc.
Changed the ECT sensor thing
Checked the panel for the spark plugs and confirmed it is working properly
Cleaned any parts (like the back of that panel) that may have been rusted/dirty and causing issues.
Checked filters, etc.
Checked the fuel trigger thing and made sure it was working properly.
All these items were done and it still has the same issue. It also had an issue where when idling it would cut off and not start, but changing the ECT thingy fixed this issue. However, the issue where the engine won't catch if it's hot is still valid.
Is there any ideas I can send to my mechanic what may be wrong? He and I are both stumped. I did a lot of research *before* I called him in attempts to fix it myself, which is what led to the new spark plugs and filters, but the engine not catching when hot/after running a while is still very much an issue.
Thank you so much!
