Ive got a 24 valve 98 and I was driving down the road and I heard what sounded like a "pop" in my stacks and my truck died. It bounced around at a couple hundred RPM's before it died but NO response from the pedal at all. My truck has the fuel pump in the tank and the vp44 and thats it. No motor mounted lift pump. I have plenty of fuel up to and after my fuel filter canister but nothing coming out of the vp44. I pulled the very first injector line off but I have no fuel at all there. I THINK my vp44 took a ____ on me and Im in a real bad place right now. I cant afford a grand for a pump. Is there a way to test it and make sure it IS in fact the vp44 before I buy one? It will run on ether and thats it.Also, how do I know if that APPS is bad?

When the VP on my 2000 went out I had a very similar situation. The loud pop or bang and the truck just stopped running.It would still crank but it wouldn't fire. I had fuel pumping up to the VP but nothing out of the VP.It's old Murphy. I think he travels from place to place looking for an opportunity to inflict himself upon the unsuspecting. :mad:

I have 15 psi at the fuel filter canister. I opened injectors 1,2,3 and 4. The third injector flowed the most but it looked like alot of air. They all trickled a little bit but nothing to speak of. I forgot to pull the codes but I will get those tomorrow
