Originally started with it starting and running for a few seconds and shutting off. replace spark plugs, distributor cap, mass air flow sensor, and a few other things i forget what. but we finally replaced the computer and after it blowing a fuse and need of a jump start it ran. i drove it back to my house and it ran fine other than if i pushed in the clutch it would idle so low it would shut off. Wednesday morning 6:30 i wake up and start the truck to make sure it starts i shut it off after letting it idle for a bit. 7:15 go to start it it turns over until the battery dies. i put the battery charger to go and leave for school with my friend. after school get home and go out to start truck turns over but will not start. i replaced all the fuses and it burped when i turned it over but now just cranks.

Hello,

When the engine wont start can you turn the key to the on position without cranking the engine over can you hear the fuel pump run in the tank for five seconds? Here is a guide to help us get started:

Can you spray starting fluid inside the intake and crank it, does it start? Did you check for spark?
