really really need help still not running

i went to the loan a tool and got a actron obd2 scanner. no codes.....so lets recap... no blown fuses,fpr screen clean,gp seleniod working gps shoud be working,cps replaced about 20k ago. new fuel filter,trucks been in a 55degree garage for three days, gas bill going nuts!!!batteies new last year,just load tested and ck ok.oil level in res full. removed toclean the cps looks clean. i am going nuts!!!! my wife says iam a jerk for the last few days.kids probally hate me and worst of all i cant drive my truck!!!!lol
the truck fires upfine and did a couple of times, but 10-15seconds ater starts running like its on two cyclinders could it possibly be the ingition switch???i cant afford to start switching parts but yet i can afford a grand bill at the mech shop either not before christmas.
therew are alot of sensors on the engine such as ect, eot coolant sensor high pressure fuel sensor ect... wich one couldgo bad and do this kind of damage to make it not even run? like its starving for fuel. jack kk

Have you checked the valve cover gaskets and wiring harness for burnt pins, wires ect... IF you have a bad spot the PCM can shut down a full bank of injectors.

we can help you. pull the plugs that go into your vc's. look for a burnt pin it it. also check the vc gasket for the same. if you see nothing its probably time to pull the vc's. to check the uvc's for burnt wiring or a short. its a very easy fix. i got all the part numbers you need. let us know what turns up.

Have you checked the fuel pressure? There is a valve next to the fuel bowl. Hook a gauge up to it, a liquid filled, and see what psi is.
