Got in the truck this morning and when I fired up the truck it ran for about 2 seconds and died. Tried to restart it and it just turned over like it was out of fuel. After a few cycles it started and ran for 1-2 seconds and quit again. One thing I noticed after doing this 3 or 4 times was when I turn the key on the red light does not come on. But when I try and start the truck it does come on.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Any codes?

 

nope....

 

I don't think the '05s used them but your key isn't the one with the little chip inside it is it? Neighbors '06 did that a couple years back and after days of fooling with it we used the spare key and everything was hunky dory after that.

 

It does sound lime a programable key issue.

 

This is in my 2006 with the programable chip!!

 

Make sure your lift pump is working. It should run for 2 to 3 seconds after the key is turned on, or if you bump the starter it should run 25 to 30 seconds. A pressure gauge is best to check the pump but you can put a container on the fuel filter drain and open the drain valve and bump the starter, do not start. You should get about 1 quart of fuel if the pump is working properly.
