Sorry forgot to note that all fuses are good in both fuse boxes.

What kind of pressure at the schrader should I see:

Cranking?

Running?

Fuel pressure should be fine ,it re filled the bowl . You have a working WTS light , so the PCM is getting power . Is the CEL on? Running a chip?.. Batteries fully charged?

Batteries charged, no CEL, stock except for exhaust, air intake and EBPV brake.

Had a no start on it about 6 months ago when a squirrel chewed off and removed about 2" of two wires at the firewall to the PCM. Checked my splice connections and they appear good.

In about ten seconds of cranking it put about an inch of fuel in the filter housing. I was told that should be good.

If it would have been easy, I would have already had it fixed.

Pressure at the shrader valve is 36-38 psi. I had to put a street ell on the shrader to get a gauge on it. I tried checking it with just a tire gauge before I put the street ell on and it started and ran several minutes. Ran fine but shut down like it ran out of fuel. It would not start after I had a real gauge on it. Now what?
