Let us know what the OBD says, what was your fuel pressure when you did this... and what has your FP been...you can also try disconnectiong your programmer and see if it will start up..

Do you have a draw straw for your airdog? That pump can suck fuel faster than the module in the tank can refill without modifying it. How much fuel does your gauge say you have? Dodge fuel gauges will just all of a sudden quit reading correctly. Mine was working perfect one tank of fuel and the next I was out of fuel at 1/4 tank on the gauge. I'd suggest you crack the injectors and see if you have fuel.
