Truck stalled out at a stop light and won't fire back up. It has new plugs, wires, rotor. I assumed it was the fuel pump as it was not holding pressure in the lines. I replaced the fuel pump, and fuel pressure regulator. Now has plenty of fuel pressure in the line, and plenty of spark. Turns over but will not fire. Code says fuel mixture thin in right and left bank oxygen sensor, though I don't think the O2 sensors would prevent it from starting. I think the codes were left from when it stalled out.

What is your fuel pressure now?
Will it start with a little starting fluid in the intake?

Something is not adding up here. If you have spark, then it should have started with a shot of starting fluid. Your going to have to take a compression test next.

I'm not stumped. I'm saying the info you are giving me is conflicting.

I'm just curious, (not trying to take over this thread) but what method did you use when you verified your spark at the plugs?
