sensors....just wiggle the wires around a bit, if one of them has a corroded connection your beast won't start. can you see if any fuel is going into the throttle body? Maybe the relay got fried and its not sending the fuel to the throttle body...I'd also check for spark....

yea koldkut...last i knew fuel goes straight to the injectors... the throttlebody has nothing to do with fuel...well doesnt touch fuel atleast....

rampage.... when you turn the key to on but dont start it you usually can hear the fuel pump kick on... youll hear a wine... from the gas tank... have someone stand right next to the tank or underneath the tank and just turn the key to ON pos but dont start it... u should be able to hear it... i dont seea feul pump goin bad over night..literaly... if it dont kick on .. then check all your fuzes
