I'm having a problem maybe someone can help? First off my truck will not fire I try to turn the key and it tries to fire but doesn't I have spark, fuel idk what else to try I'm lost .

 

what troubleshooting have you done?

 

not much I do know it's not alternator, starter, battery, I dont think its cap and rotor button due to the fact I just replaced them like 1yr ago or so but I have took the plug off the top of the ignition Coil and tried to start it and seen that it did have spark .

 

when trying to crank the truck I do smell raw fuel fumes.

 

ok you may want to test the plugs then

 

What's the best way to test the plugs?

 

pull out a plug. hold the tip close to the engine block (distance similar to the spark gap but keep your hands clear). Have someone crank it. Repeat for all cylinders.

 

A little tip I have about testing a plug for fire is use a set of battery jumper cables attach one end to a good ground even the battery and the other end to the metal part of the plug. You can even move it so you can see the plug from the drivers seat.

Next if you have spark check for fuel. Use starting fluid to try to get the engine to start up.

Do you hear the pump prime when you first turn the key "on"?

 

yes I do hear the fuel pump turn on

 

when you say "tries to start", this tells me that at least some of the plugs are firing, and u do have fuel getting to at least some of the cylinders...my bet is loose or defective plug and/or wires...do what the man says and check all six plugs for spark...I take it you've seen no codes come up (or ck. engine light on?) if ya plug in an OBDII tool?(if ya aint got one, get one-they're cheap enough and are very handy..and work on many makes of vehicles)..usually, a misfiring will throw a P300-P306 code..If you can be absolutely sure all six plugs are firing, AND firing regularly, then the issue usually lies w/ fuel and/or timing...good luck
