Angry Stupid POS!

Dammit, i'm sick of this crap!!!!! I pull out of school today, and at school theres a stop sign before you exit the parking lot. Well, truck was runnin fine, and just quit 10 feet before the sign. WTF? So i try to start it, nothing, it turns over but doesn't act like its getting gas its just turning. So i let it coast down the lil hill with the Key ON and dump the clutch, nothin. Coast into a rock road and let her sit. My guess is the fuel pump? I've told you all i know..

do you have dual tanks? if so switch tanks because there's a seperate pump in each one.

Take the plastic cap off the fuel line schrader valve and press it in and see if any fuel sprays out under pressure, thats a good indication if its the pump. No fuel sprays, clogged filter, bad pump. If you have dual tanks and neither works, probably somethin besides the pump. Sure hope you don't have to change an intank pump. I'm in a bind gettin my tank out right now

Well it has a pump in each tank so I doubt they both went out at the same exact time so I would eliminate that.

Pull the coil wire away from the distributor cap just a little bit and have you're dad turn the engine over, or better yet have him hold the wire and you turn it over and look and see if any spark jumps from the coil wire to the dist. Hold the wire with some dikes or plastic pliers it'll knock the **** outta ya. Might not be gettin any fire

Just get a MSD TFI coil, it's cheaper then stock and just as good if not better.
