I was driving the vehicle when it hesitated and stalled. It will not restart. It was at operating temperature when it hesistated and stopped running. I had been driving it for about a half hour before it stalled out. It restarted once for about 5 seconds but then stalled and no longer will start. The next morning it would fire on starting fluid but would not start up. The fuel tank is 3/4 full. It sounds like you can here the fuel pump start up when you turn the key on.

You need to have the fuel pressure checked. Obviously, if you can get it to fire on start fluid, you have a lack of fuel. I believe these need over 60 psi, or they won't run.
