Got fuel in the tank?

Fuel filter clean?

What is the fuel pressure?

Can you pull codes?

Good high pressure fuel at the injectors, or just dribbling fuel?

The tanks full of fuel.
He pulled the plug on top of the ff houseing and sprayed fuel everywhere. Well have to check with a gauge.
Hes going to buy a scanner tommorow. Were trying to rule out the obvious first.
Thanks Mooseman

Is it hard to start when the engine is warm? If so I'm betting it's the VP.

He says all the time cold or hot and I agree with you on the vp. I guess we will know for sure tomorrow when he pulls the codes.
