Hi all,
I feel like I'm about ready to take this truck to the salvage yard! It has been fighting me lately.
On the other hand, I have built quite the relationship with his truck. It starts hard often. Many times it is when it is a hot day and the sun has been beating down on it. It also doesn't like it when it's wet outside. I noticed when I turn the ignition on that the fuel pump kicks in but doesn't turn off after a couple seconds. The tone of the fuel pump doesn't seem to change, so I'm wondering if the fuel pump is having an issue, not being able to pressurize. I replaced it only three years ago or so.
Also, when I try to read the engine codes with the jumper wire, nothing happens. I don't know if this is related or something else that needs to be fixed.
Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.
