So to begin yesterday’s shenanigans. I went to start the pick up (2000 24v all stock), temperature was in the 20s. It was a rough start, coughed and sputtered. Which is not normal for my pick up, even in colder temperatures. It cleared up and 10 minutes or so later I took an hour drive to town. Was going up a steep hill when I was in town, started sputtering. Turned and was going down hill, sputtering, dying, and would fire up when I let off the clutch. I got to a stop light, it died, and would not start. My hearing is bad but couldn’t hear the lift pump when I bumped starter. So that is a possibility of what is wrong. It sat from October/November up until a few weeks ago. Fuel gauge read full when I started up few weeks ago to bring it out of hibernation. It’s reading half a tank now, what are the odds of faulty sending unit and being out of fuel? The only codes it is throwing is I believe an 0122 or whatever for the APPS. Fuel filter has maybe 3000 miles on it.

Do you have summer fuel in it with no anti-jell treatment? !
Even if you have Winter fuel, you should not trust they did it correctly.
Next-
Fuel gauges are notoriously optimistic (make sure you actually have fuel on board)
After those two things are verified, make sure the lift pump runs.
Replace filter filler filled with power Service 911 (Red Bottle)
Treat the fuel with winter anti-jell.
Bleed at least 3 injectors (crank over with them cracked open).
When a good amount of fuel is leaking past, slightly snug them.
Crank again it might fire up then reseat them.
Either way, retighten them.
Never ever crank your engine over 30 seconds without 5 min starter cool down.

Before you do all that, and that is good things to do, Clean all the battery terminals to a shiny perfectly clean condition and load test all the batteries, or at least check them individually disconnected for 12.6v at least.
And check the Wait to start light to see if it comes on immediatley each time you turn the key to ON?
