are saying it isnt getting fuel or asking? if its a known fact that fuel is not getting to the rail then its most likely your fuel pump.

YEAH it not going to the Rail...... but it just went bad over night? you would think it would go when your driving?

Again, if you have no fuel to the rail, check for 12 volts and a good ground to the fuel pump. If you have both, then yes, the pump can go bad overnight. You can even drive to the grocery store and when you get back in your "perfectly" running vehicle, it won't start.

Verify whether you have volts, ground and pressures and let us know.

Good Luck

Thanks Rick! but my pump is rusty? OMG

I assume that is a viable question. In answering, it can indeed be rust or perhaps a bad sector on the commutator or any other numerous things that can go bad. In diagnosis you verify everything with volts, pressures if required and ohms and amps if need be.

We can only offer suggestions as we are not there.. If you perform these tests and post the results we will do our utmost to help you in your repairs.

Good Luck to you
