    Have a 94 4wd MT pickup with 3VZE in it. Truck has set for a couple of months and hasnt been started. Truck ran when parked, truck will crank and will not start. Found fuel pump to not run when installing jumper wire in diagnostic box. Replaced the fuel pump and is now working. Truck still will not start. Have replaced fuel pressure regulator. Have ran AFM flap by hand and am getting working fuel pump when doing this. Have checked on injector pigtail with a noid light and have voltage at injectors. Removed spark plug on opposite bank of engine from noid light test, found plug to be wet with fuel and have good spark at the plug. I am kind of stumped at this point and needing some help.
    Thank you

    Sounds like some critter chewed thru something.. spark, fuel and air . All In The right amount and sequences.. check for spark at all plugs. Make sure you have the correct firing order on the cap and plugs.. it's happened to me before lol.

    Its starting to get frustrating, its kind of my beater truck anymore and I only have time to mess with it about 45 minutes in the evenings. Im wondering if gas has water in it. Gonna test some fuel tonight and see if there is any moisture in it.

    I fooled with truck last night and I think I may have water in the fuel. I took return line off of the fuel sender and pumped half a water bottle full of gas. Had some water in the bottom of the bottle. I can get the truck to hit on ether but as soon as I hook the fuel pump back on I cant get it to do anything. That would make sense why it would hit a couple of times after sitting all night. The water was dry from the plugs then as soon as the injectors sprayed and got the plugs wet again nothing. As the pump sucks fuel from the bottom of the tank im gonna pursue that route and hopefully can get it running this evening.
