Your message is a little vague.

Does the truck start and idle to operating temperature but kill when you engage reverse gear?

Does the engine crank but not ignite?

Which engine are you refering to?

Please don't spray ether into your air intake plenum unless the engine is cranking and, therefore, diluting the ether with air. Better not to use ether at all. IF you needto use a staring fuel, try WD-40 or lighter fluid.
