NEW PROBLEM ARISES, Advice
 
Had a misfire/stalling problem, found out it was a fuel related issue, after I replaced the plugs and Camshaft Sensors...

I opened the tank to replace my fuel pump but my problem was no gas on the passenger side well of the tank, although my gauge said i had a little under a quarter tank of gas, because my driver side well was full.. I'm very confused at what the communication problem is here between the two sending units and what's wrong because I unplugged the fuel pump on passenger side and when i plugged it back in and read gauge again now it said m truck was empty?

Why is the mini in tank pump pump not sending fuel from the driver side to the passenger, also now when I added gas to the truck and finally got it started again, my ABS, BRAKE, and Traction Control Light are illuminated..

I'll buy the person dinner who can help me get this problem solved !!!!!

Hmmm, not sure about the fuel, but with the lights. I am going to assume you disconnected the battery? Turn the X on, turn steering wheel to the far left, then far right, then back to center. That will solve the light issue.

The sending units have a problem communicating to each other. There could be a tube that is clogged that is not sending fuel to the other side. If you turn the car on, motor not running, do you hear the pump whizzing on?

when the battery last replaced? i had similiar issues with misfires and long cranks and found out the battery was not able to supply proper voltage. i replaced it and all is good. i have a different motor but the electrical demands are essentially the same. good luck.

Looks like we have a dinner date lol the turning the steering wheel thing fixed the lights on my dash, also inside my take the siphon vacuum had a bad o-ring... cant believe a 1 dollar part caused all this mayhem...
