The truck was fine. Had a rear seal replaced, that's all. I picked it up, started, attempted to accelrate, truck sputtered, removed foot from accelerator, tried again, truck moved. I pulled up to a stop sign, the same thing. When pressing on accelerator, it's as if the fuel is flowing, then stops (sputters), then it will {catch}. What it would feel like if someone didn't know how to use a clutch. I returned to the shop, truck dies, engine won't turn over. What does replacing a rear seal have to do with the truck not starting?

Do below to determine if its fuel or spark problem

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
