    Hey guys, my truck won't start. I have no freaking clue. It started right up about an hour ago. It's never had trouble starting. It's trying to start but just won't. Had a tune up about 1-2 years ago and same with a new battery. Any opinions? If not I will have it towed to the dealership Monday. It's about to be my dad's truck cause I bought that Mustang I've been talking about. I will start that thread later.

    Alright guys I tried spraying starter fluid in the throttle body and it starts up then shuts off. Looks like maybe the fuel pump...

    Just checked. No buzzing, humming, or clicking when the key is on.

    All the fuses are good and I even replaced the relay. Im just worried that i will have to pay to jave it towed to a dealership and them replace it and find out that the pump is fibe and its somethibg else. Could you determine exactly what's wrong?
