CHECK THIS...THE IGNITION COL..ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE...LOOKE CLOSELY AT THE PINK WIRE GOING TO THE PLUG ON THE COIL...GIVE HER A SLIGHT TUG AND SEE IF ITS BROKEN...TRHAT WILL CAUSE YOUR PROBLEMS

it's like two problems in one...bad fuel...and something over heating causing not to send fuel..the contacts looked bad on the fuse relay so we replaced it

After about two weeks it acted up again..first time it sputtered out then today after replacing the purge valve ran fine till I turned the truck off then wouldn't turn until compleetly cold. My friend is wondering if I have a ignition module, if so does it controll the fuel pump, like if it were bad and not sending enough volts causing the fuel pump to over heat? Thanks John
