I will check the fuel filter, as soon as I can find the damn thing...LOL and as for a code puller, I dont have one, but I believe autozone sells em...hopefully its something simple, because i aint really got the cash to have to buy new injectors or anything

You can check the codes yourself. There is the EEC self test plug under the hood on the drivers side fender. There is a plug that has many wires on it, and then there is just a single wire w/ a little plastic plug on the end of it. Ground that w/ a clip wire and put the key on to the run position. You'll hear the fuel pumps come on and the check engine light flicker. Then you'll see it flash. Count the flashes and write them down. For example, if the code was 61...it would blink 6 times 1/2 second apart, then give a 2 second pause...then flash once...and then it'll replay that again....then it'll pause for 6 seconds and flash the next code, pretty easy to figure out.
But if an engine isn't running, you've got to make sure you have fuel and have spark. My dad's truck died on him cuz the coil broke...no spark.
