- apprceiate any feedback thanks Ryan

Answer
Hi Ryan....even though you have fuel at the rail..you may not have enough pressure...or even though you have spark is it good enough....try this...remove the fuel pump relay...turn engine over to clear any flood.... reinstall relay hold foot to floor and try to start....if it goes it was flooded...if not do not use start fluid...go get some air intake cleaner...use it like starting fluid...it has a lower flash point...if truck starts and stays running it was flooded...if not you may need to look at ign system...hope this helps
