Check your vacuum lines. When I first tried starting my 3.4 swap, it'd do the the same thing because I didn't have any of the lines ran at the time. One of yours could have come loose during your drive to the river.

have you checked for spark or fuel??? Possibly a bad fuel pump relay or fuse? gotta see if the pump is functioning...
truck isnt out of gas???
so you have fuel at the fuel rail with the fuel pump hooked up??

YA 4th of a tank. Dropped the tank. HArd wired the pump out of the tank to a bat and it pumped gas like crazy in a bucket... relay shouldn't matter since I wired it from the tank to a switch to the battery... the longer it sits the longer it will run. LIKe 3 seconds instead of one. It's getting great spark. I know thefuel rail isgettin gas cuz I pulled a line and it prayed about 5 feet lol

new to this... cant figure out how to post my question... I have a 91 toyota pick-up, with a 3.0L... valve cover was leaking so I replaced the gasket... I also replace the cap, rotor and distributor o-ring as well... now the truck wont turn over... if it helps, I did pressure wash the engine... could I have jacked something up when washing it? I have spark... I was also thinking it could be my mass air flow sensor... any ideas? Thanks for any help...
