Truck cranks wont start. Died last night and replaced both fuel filters. It started after a few times of trying to get it to start then it idled for a while, hit the gas peddle for about 20 seconds and it shut off. Have not been able to get it to start since.

Make sure your fuel pump is kicking on. When you turn the key to on, you should hear it buzzing for a second or two. Being that you changed the fuel filter and it started, this might be your problem.

    I don't think it can be the fuel pump, because I've cracked the upper filter and it shoots fuel all over the place when I crank the engine. I can also hear it in the begging.

Its probably not your fuel filters....more likely your fuel pump. If you have dual fuel tanks, try switching to the other tank and see if it starts on that tank. If you dont, try getting a fuel pressure reading with the key in the on position. It should read above 45 psi.

Sounds as if it's not getting fuel. Change your fuel filter, then if nothing, it could be the fuel pump.

Car died and wont start

The fuel injector motor or called the Idle Air control module is not the failure. The fuel pump is overheating and dies out. Thus when letting sit a while the engine is starting up again.
I woult take vehicle to local shop and have them replace the fuel pump , I suggest not getting taken for a complete tune up. Just the fuel pump is the most cost effective way .
