I am hoping that someone out there can give me an idea of what to look for on my vehicle. Please Help!! My truck cranked fine yesterday morning. Yesterday evening, it didn't. It's turning, but seems not to be getting enough "fire" to start, even though it's trying. I had a guy look at it, and he was thinking the fuel pump. He tester the pressure from the pump, and gas is reaching the engine (pump is in the tank) and had the pressure of 45, as I understand is the desired pressure. I also heard the guy state that the spark he saw was orange and it should be blue, so I'm gathering at this point that we are looking at something electrical. He tried to give me a jump as will, and that didn't work either. However, I did notice that my battery gage was still on low even after he connected his battery to mines to jump it off. I have someone coming over later to try and test the electrical components. I jumped in the car this morning, and it again almost started.....I'd like to have some idea of what I'm looking at as far as repairs, as this is my only mode of transportation. I hope I gave as much info as is needed. Also, the vehicle is 3/4 full of gas, and the gage works fine. This is a fuel injected vehicle, 6 cylinder. Best answer I will give 10 points. If you need any other info, just let me know and I do my best to answer. Thanks!!
Also, the engine light did not come on, and it didn't register an error code when checked. The fuel filter has already been changed.
