I was driving, no load, about 45mph when the truck started feeling sluggish. I got diminishing pedal response until the the truck finally died. No luck getting it started again.
No smoke while cranking, tach gets up to 300 or so (gear reduction starter). Just for diagnostics, I tried starting fluid, and it will run on that.
No visible leaks or broken wires upon brief inspection. CPS? I'm wondering about the tach movement there.
I've also had intermittent hard starts in the cold. Some mornings are great, and others take a while.
Thanks for any suggestions!
