About 2 months ago I took my truck to goodyear because it was feeling like the truck was running out of gas but the truck had gas. Goodyear replaced the fuel pump and filter. It ran good for a couple of months and now it is back again and the service engine light soon is on and the truck won't start. Goodyear said I needed to take it to the dealer

The service engine light soon is on Get the computer scanned for OBD2 code/s to find out what's going on in the engine management system this is your starting point. Or you can do below to determine if its fuel or spark problem

Disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -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, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

Fuel Pump Replacement
When a fuel pump goes out it can do so one of two ways either it can quit and stop working or it can fail intermittently causing the engine to stall or not start.
