Up to 189,000 on my old '02 and it went weird yesterday. Fuel pump runs fine , seems to have plenty of spark as it tries to start . Has started a couple times but only runs with throttle applied , then dies immediately when let go to Idle. Can't get it to even start after several more tries. Seems to not be getting Fuel ? Where would you start this Diagnosis ? Can find no codes with any reader.Won't start , won't run

Won't start , won't run
Hey All , Been a long time ! Up to 189,000 on my old '02 and it went weird yesterday. Fuel pump runs fine , seems to have plenty of spark as it tries to start . Has started a couple times but only runs with throttle applied , then dies immediately when let go to Idle. Can't get it to even start after several more tries. Seems to not be getting Fuel ? Where would you start this Diagnosis ? Can find no codes with any reader.

I'd start here: Fuel system diagnosis You will need a pressure gauge.

Thanks B. Only thing lowering the pressure feed was a dang 3 year old Fuel Filter. $11.92 and gas in my face , she's all good now !!
