Need to test the injector harness. make sure the pcm is actually firing them. they should have 12 volts on one wire for about 3 seconds after you turn the key on, or crank the engine.

injector harness runs to the injectors, that's where ya test. just unplug them, one at a time, (don't lose the little metal clips that lock them inplace.....) One wire will have 12 volts.... (with the aforementioned conditions....) check that hey actually have power first. (I think the power feed is common, so, if one has power, they all should)

You need to check to see if you're in fact getting that spark to the plugs. You can rent a tool to see if you're injectors are firing.

I will also grab a crankshaft position sensor while im there just incase. Im going to have a brand new truck after all is said and done. Its a good thing i had enough money saved up for such an occasion.

Yep I always try to keep a "cushion" for times like this and my girlfriend likes to just blow money and doesn't understand why I keep some on the side.

Definitely check to make sure your getting fire from the plugs. Did you change the fuel filter? See if you can get the tube for the charcoal canister back on. I don't know if it will make it run bad or not at all but its possible right?

The fuel filter is part of the pump assembly on our trucks.
