Look at the last link in Tuglys signature. If you go through all that stuff you will likely find your problem.
Check foe chafing on the wire harness coming out pf the 42the pin plug. That is a common problem.

Quick fuel check....... Open the water fuel separator valve with the key cycled on "NOT STARTING" a few times to make shure your pump is still pumping. Just a good way to rule out the pump.
