check the fuses under the hood too or try to make good on whatever you did to make your mom mad. I would also check the coil wire to the dist.

First things first, go out and pull the coil wire on her ride. That way u are at least even and nobody goes anywhere until yours is fixed, lol. Secondly after u get it fixed, get a locking gas cap and keep that and your doors locked. Third and last thing, dont **** off your parents anymore, lol

That sounds like a fast ticket to moving out and paying your own bills. And if that truck's title isn't in your name, you'll be walking until you can afford a used Yugo.

I'd recommend you UNdo whatever you did that made her want to "disable" the truck to begin with, and never do it again.

Cannot stop laughing at your response.

I too, would check the fuel cut-off switch. Good luck.
