Truck will not start, turns over and tries to start but will not. It acts like its starving for fuel but just put new filter and fuel pump on last weekend and it did not fix the problem. The problem intermitted at first and then went completely out. When this first occured the truck started to shake like some kind of electrical problem. Please help, trucks been down for two weeks. Thank You.

Did you have a check engine light come on or has flashed prior to this problem and when was your last tune-up?

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.
