Come to find out the Alternator was BAD! Installed a new one last week and have not had any issues. From this problem I found out from another Pelican that if you dont have the correct power to your injectors, they will not kick off. So you can crank all day, have everything to the rail, spark etc, but won't do any good without the injectors firing. Be sure to check everything real good. Hope this helps, Mike
Once you jumped it, did it run well? I ask because, if this is my problem, I have about 20 miles to get to my shop of choice, or 100 miles to my brother's garage where we can do the work ourselves.
