Cranks, but won't start

I have a 2000 F-150 Harley Davidson. I came out of the bank and all of a sudden my truck would turn over but would not actually start. All of the electrical inside works fine, but nothing.

It has been suggested that it is the alternator, also possibly a fuel pump problem, maybe a relay or fuse.


Can anyone give me some insight to what this problem may be.

HELP!!!!!!!!

It's not the alternator.

Get some starting fluid spray. Squirt the fluid into the intake and crank the motor.
If it fires the problem is in the fuel system.
If it does not fire the problem is in the ignition system.
Come back and let us know which system the problem is in then we will go from there.

IAC maybe?

If you step on the gas while cranking and it starts, revs, and stays running with your foot on the gas, it's the IAC.

If it cranks but doesn't start, it's probably a fuel problem or ignition problem. Check the filters, gas gauge, ignition fuse, ignition relay, fuel pump. Turn the key to on while having your ear next to the fuel pump(may require 2 people or really really long arms) and see if the fuel pump primes. If not, that will cause it. If the fuel filters are clogged and it's not getting fuel, that will cause it. If there's no spark, that will cause it.
