It sounds like a fuel pump .remove the fuel inspection cap on the fuel rail at the top of the engine and make a pump presser check,must be around 45-65 psi, anything lower means a defected pump.another way
of checking a pump is banging on the fuel tank while having some body cranking the eng. if the eng fires up it means it is a pump.

I had a similar problem and believe it or not it was the CAT. An easy way to test for this is to remove the O2 sensor right in front of the CAT. Once you removed it, plug it back in while unscrewed from the exhaust pipe and start up the truck. If it runs fine, the CAT is your problem. This is just a guess and it would be an easy and very cheap($0) test. You did not say if the truck was diesel or gas. Mine is gas that was exhibiting the same problem as yours...good luck!

Did you consider putting gas in it?
Did you chek the fuel pump if it works?

SOURCE: wont start.

The cam or crank position sensors are notorious for failing, after they age and get heat in them the signal is no longer generated. Also make sure fuel lift pump is working properly, check all of the fuel filters and for fuel leaks of any kind including sucking air on the suction side of the lift pump. Good Luck!!

could be the battery, sometimes all the electrical would stay on but the battery doesnt have enough juice to crank the car over, if not check the alternater.

2006 Chevy Trailblazer, turns over but won't start.

You need an OBD2 scanner to read fault codes stored and indicated by the Check Engine Light. Entry level scanners are available for around $20-$30 at most auto parts retailers.

The codes merely identify the problem area and are not a diagnosis. Further troubleshooting is always necessary, else it is only guessing and parts swapping which may cause more problems than solved.

I just bought a 1997 merqury mystique ran fine then two days later went to start it turned over but didn't start any ideas

Hi, is your car automatic? Based on experience, that also happens that suddenly car wont start. For so many things to find, you wont believed that an automatic car that run out of ATF won't start? That's one reason. Other could be the fuel pump, motor may be faulty. As long as you have fuel and still doesn't start, better have your fuel pump checked. Another is the clogged fuel filter. You might pay to check the fuel filter as well.

1998 f250 5.4l would not start. changed feul pump and filter still would not start. 20 mni later started. was cleaning engine while running 10 15 min later died wont start.

Check fuel pressure at the injector rail. Could be your fuel pump relay is cutting out. If fuel pressure is good, check for sparks at the plug wires. Read the link below for more info.

My 91 cutless ran out of gas one day and has never ran right since. Replaced ever sensor on the car, fuel pump every thing. Runs good for 2 or 3 days and then it won't stay started. Went out few mouths...

You may have loaded a fuel line or connector up with contaminants. What else is happening during the second or 3rd day of running? Is it running low on fuel? Try to make a list of your gauge set! It only makes sense.

GMC Safari start problem

I think it's the fuel pump or the fuel pump filter.

Check the fuel system that's where your problem is, my bet is your fuel pump has left this world to a better place.
