well, i made it to school somehow glad to say that. this morning, fired up my 01 v6, ok no problems there, back out of my driveway, stalled once i was in the middle of the road when i shifted her from reverse to drive, ok happens when shes cold.... crank crank..... this goes on for about 5 minutes, yea i know crank for 15 seconds at a time, rest for 2 minutes, didnt hurt the starter, but she was spitting and sputtering and died again, ok turned the ignition on, let it sit for a minute, then she fired and was very stumbly until i got into the throttle, now my neighbor is outrside bitching for the fact my truck rolled into her flower patch , and then i got her goin... im thinking fuel pump, let alone the fuel guage is ridicuously off, the other day it said i was on E and filled up only 12 gallons to the top, and my ridiculous fuel consumption, im goin down to my diesel shop to test her for spark and fuel pressure, on that note, what should the fuel pressure be at?... i forgot... thanks guys

 

I had something similar and it would just die out of no where and it was the coil...

 

The fuel pressure at the test port should be 49.2 PSI, +/- 5 PSI, at idle. If pressure is below 44.2 PSI, fuel pump module replacement is indicated. The pressure regulator is integral to the fuel pump module (unfortunately), so you have to replace the entire deal.

 

ya i was thinking either or, couldnt get the fuel pressure guage we have for the diesels to connect to my truck, no correct fittings [:@], o well, bringing her to the transmission shop on thursday to get her fluid flushed and new filter, plus my guy said hes gonna hook her up to his computer to give me a full read out of whats going on inside her. so we can only hope since i dont have the time til thursday to be without a truck nor time to work on her... pain in the ***

 

let it warm up a lil more when you get into it in the morning or at night when u get home back it in so you can just get in an GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
