Well I'm pretty sure it's not still at the intersection. Tell us the rest of the story. It is important sometimes.

Okay, this is awkward what happened to my truck today. I cleaned the inside of my truck out, cleaned the floor windows the works. I go to start my truck to leave and notice fuel pressure 0PSI with the key forward, so a red flag went up. I look for a WTS light, nothing. So i thought to myself, oh the fuse for the fuel bowl blew and i need to unplug the bowl. After checking every single fuse, and all tested good, i go to try it again. Still nothing cranked forever but nothing, so i go ahead and pulled the fuel heater plug anyways, and then there was fuel pressure and the WTS light, and she fired right up. Anyone got ideas on this one? If it was shorting out shouldnt it have blown the fuse?

not exactly sure,but i will find out first thing tomorrow.I was thinking it was kind of odd to need a new "computer" as they call it and wanted to try to do some research before a new one is bought.There is one good thing to it,that we just bought the truck last week and we talked to the first owner before us and he said he had no problems but will pay for whatever is wrong with it because he didn't know of any problems
