truck stalled and wont start

today i was on my way home and jsut before the turn to my street i had to step on it on change lanes and as soon as i changed lanes i stepped on the brakes to get ready for my turn...by the time the truck stopped it was stalled and i cant get it started again.

no codes are being thrown...the FASS is pushing 15psi fuel pressure...but it jsut sits and cranks and acts like its not getting any fuel.

im giving it a break for right now but in a few im gonna head out and crack the injector lines and see if any fuel is getting to them.

any other ideas of what it could be?

and no the truck is not out of fuel...it only has 100 miles on a full tank

Check for fuel at the head, if none there check the supply line on the VP. If it is there the IP went belly up.

Good chance VP44 went south ... and it will not always set a code . Chris

well i got it started...cracked 3 of 6 injector lines and slowly they got fuel to them and as i cranked my father tightened the injectors lines back up and the truck is running like a champ now.

my truck always has and still is running a good 15psi at idle and 10psi at full throttle...i went from full throttle to the brakes pretty hard...but ive done that plenty of times before. any reason why this would cause it to stall...or get air in the line.

my fuel sender is good, all the lines are tight into and out of the FASS to the IP. so i cant see how it could get air in the system or what not.

at least its running again but i wanna make sure it doesnt do this again
