Hey guys, over the past few days, my truck has needed to be cranked longer than the norm to start, but it would run okay, and today, me and my family went on a hiking trip 30 miles away and upon arrival my truck suddenly sputtered out and died, no engine codes at all. I keep my OBD2 tool in the glovebox. It would immediately restart, but then die immediately after. I got it towed home and It would restart, then sputter and die again quickly, but not as quickly as when it first stopped. The longer it sits, the better it starts and revs, but regardless it will sputter and die in 30 - 60 seconds usually now. It will even rev normally a few times before dying if it sits long enuf. I replaced the fuel filter about 2000 miles ago, and did a complete tune up at that time also, every thing but the ignition coil. But since my truck is throwing no codes at all, im thinking the fuel pump is out. That is a big job though, before I start Anyone have an idea of if this sounds like the fuel pump? Thanks
