Thanks to you and Simon for pointing in the proper direction. Some dumb question or two. I can hear the fuel pump buzz for about 4-5 secs before shutting off, however, I couldn't feel this pusling of fuel lines when cracking the car. Probably because I don't know where to check for pulsing. I thought the fuel rails running along the back wall but now am not sure. Can someone enlighten me. I pulled a plug after cranking, they were dry and did get a spark. I looked at the dist cap and it looks in shape as do the wires. Wiped off slight oxidation on contact points of cap. Thought the rotor looked ok, too. Now to figure where to go from here. Strong spark or not. How to do I determine that? fuel pressure high enough? Thanks.

Thanks, Pezzy but no go. I just replaced the fuel pump relay and it stll won't start. I guess I will try to replace fuel filter and see if that tells me anythng. The gas tank is full so I think I got to figure out how much gas I'm willng to spill on the driveway. I thought I read somewhere that it's best to change the filter on a low tank. Wish me luck. Any ideas of what to check or replace next? Thanks.

Wife's truck in the driveway and it won't start. Haven't done much more than routinely maintenance oil/filter,air filter, brakes, & rear shocks. Nothing around the fuel system. Last week wife ran a few errands and on her third stop the car won't start. The engine turns over but won't start. It was during a rain storm so I suspected something got wet as the car finally started after 5 tries later (in a 3-4 min span). Two days later same sort of thing; after a few errands and car won't start the finally it does after 5-6 tries it fires up and all is fine. Well today it does NOT start but luckily she's in the driveway and I'm trying to figure out how to diagnose the problem. Unrelated to this incident is the engine light has come on and off for the last year. Codes P0325 - Knock Sensor, Bank 1, and P0158 - Rear O2S, Bank 2. Needless to say I haven't done a thing to fix that either. So could this at all be related? She's been running the gas tank low the last two times before filling. Since I never changed the fuel filter I figure that's would be a good place to start. I'll see if that tells me anything. Any thoughts on what else to check would be greatly apprecated. Thanks.

confirming receipt.

vengeful or whomever knows, Two question on installation. As I said it's been a while since I did my last shock change. The new shock comes compressed with a tie. I'm suppose to leave it compressed during installation, right? Now if the mounts don't line up with the height of the compressed shock am I suppose to lower the jack or place a jackstand under there to position it correctly? The new shocks didn't come with new bolts/washers. Is it ok to reuse them or buy new ones? Thanks.

I can't seem to find a free version of a .rar extraction program and don't want to fork over $30-40 for a copy. Anyone know of a free version? Thanks

I'm planning on installing my rear shocks this weekend. Wondered if someone had instructions on how to do. I didn't find any detail instructions in techinfo guide for rear shock replacement. I've done shocks before but was looking for anything that may help me avoid something stupid. Thanks.
