Howdy all. I'm just about at my wits end with my girl's truck. She was leaving work the other day, fired the truck up and let it fast idle. When it kicked down to slow idle, it shut off. Didn't stumble or anything, she said it acted like she turned the key off.
Being very new to EFI (only other experience was swapping this straight six into this truck due to a tired 351) I followed some troubleshooting steps I found online. Had power everywhere it was supposed to be, so I changed the TFI module. No luck. I also bought a new PIP sensor, but I can't get the gear off the distributor to change it. I'm wondering if this is even the right direction as it has no fuel at the rail either.
When I turn the ignition on, I can hear the relays under the hood engage, but the fuel pump never does. I can however remove its relay and hotwire it and make it work.
Furthermore, I never get a check engine light throughout the whole process, and plugging in the tester for a KOEO test, the truck acts like the testers not even plugged in.
Any suggestions or kicks in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
