Hi. I just sold my truck today. And the new buyer picked it up and drove it home 100+ miles. It ran fine. He shut it off, now it would start. I had a spare CPS and he changed it. Still no start. The spare CPS was in the truck a long time. But I believe it worked way back when.
I feel terrible. I owned the truck since 2007 and have never had a problem.
HELP

I would really like some help here. I don't think it is major. The truck ran great was shut off and then later wouldn't start. No smoke, no rough idle. I believe it must be something electrical. Fuse or a broken wire, etc.
I have owned the truck for over 8 years. And it's never had the check engine light come on. The new owner put a tester on it and he says it doesn't show any codes or ant erased codes. Will ask him if the tach shows anything when cranking.
Any suggestions?

Ask him if the wait to start light comes on. Ask him if there is any smoke when cranking. Have him check the engine oil level. Fuel level. Have him open the fuel drain valve and cycle the key. Its got to be something simple so let him know we'll get it figured out.

The WTS light not coming on would indicate a shorted fuel heater. It blows the fuse that powers the PCM. Could be why he can't pull codes. The easy fix is to pull the fuel heater connector loose at the rear of the fuel bowl and replace the fuse. The fuel heater can be fixed later.

Here's some info on it.
