Parked truck on friday night and went out to start on Monday morning and it wouldn't start. It turns over like normal but won't fire. I checked the codes with a OBDII tester the only code I got was 740. This is a transmission code so I don't think it applies. I checked the fuel pressure on the test port on the fuel rail and the tester shows 40 psi (normal). I pulled the first plug on the right side of motor and got spark across a new plug. Changed plugs, rotor and cap. The truck still won't start. I was thinking of sensors or anything else I could check? Going to the shop Monday if I can't fix it. Please help

Normal pressure is 44-54psi. Are you getting
injection pulses?

Find the injectors and have a helper crank engine over-are they clicking if not-check for power on the injector harness or use a noid lite.
