2001 No Start and need help

I have a 2001 that cranks and cranks. I dont think that there is any fuel being injected. I opened the fuel bowl and it was full. I do hear the fuel pump running on the rail. I cranked it while the lid to the fuel bowl was open and it was filling with fuel so fuel is getting there. Batteries are a little low now that we have been messing with getting it started but they were great when it stopped starting. Need to get some help on where to check next. I appreciate it.

Ryan

Try this. Possible bad fuel bowl heater. Disconnect your fuel bowl heater and replace the under hood fuse (i think #30) and try to start it. I cannot remember which year(s) have this issue.

I agree with Tim and David. I'll add keep an eye on your battery voltage during all this cranking. If it get's below 10 volts-ish she won't start cause the injectors won't fire. Hope you get it going my friend.

Does the tach move while cranking? What brand CPS is in it? Have you tried another CPS?
