On my way home from work tonight, and my truck shut off completely without a hiccup or stutter. After 15 minutes of trying to re fire , the most I got was 2 seconds of it trying to start "once" and then I gave up. Towed it home and take a look in the morning. I'm just under a half a tank, electric fuel pressure gauge is around the 16 psi when I turn the ignition. No check engine light either. When my crank sensor went, it did the same thing , but I could re start it each time. I've got full power everyplace. Cycled the key lookin for a code, but I didn't see anything. I don't think the 99 does that. It's like I was driving and somewhat turned the ignition off on me. ( but all electrical seems fine) any tests or basics I could do to try and narrow it down in the morning? Truck has 405,000 Kms

Before you do anything else, put a couple gallons of fuel in it.....the sender for the fuel gauge in those trucks are notorious for going bad and reading incorrectly....

Sure would suck to spend good money trying to chase down a problem only to find you ran out of fuel.

I put in $50 yesterday and maybe drove $150 kms. Weird if it's the vp44 that died yesterday, because yesterday was my 44th birthday.

Here is the best diagnostic sight for your VP44.

So, I have a fire hose of fuel getting through the filter , and I cracked a couple injectors and turned it over , and nothing at all is comming out of the injector lines ( I cracked the 1st one closest to the fan and the 3rd )
