My truck ran out of gas, I used a gas can and put 4 gallons of gas in it, enough so that I could make it to the gas station. But my truck still wont start, someone told me it could be flooded and give it a couple of hours and it should start, its been 24 hours and it acts like it wants to start but it doesnt. What kind of problem do you think I am having.

Cranks but no start condition:

Fuel and Spark:
Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 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.
