Ok How'd you get it running cause our TBSS just took a **** on my wife today while she was waiting in line to pick up my daughter from school. Said she cranked up at home and got a CEL then when she got to her school she turned it off and then tried to restart it and nothing...just gauges and a chime but nothing starting. They had to push it out of line to a parking space.

I got home later and it wouldn't do anything. I left the key on and it started to ding at me a few times about once every two minutes then it started in limp mode (Reduced engine power) but I couldn't accelerate hardly by pushing on the pedal. Then started a couple more times in limp mode and out of sheer luck on about the fifth time it started and idled and ran perfect so I drove it home and backed it into the driveway, revved it a couple of times watching the temp for a few minutes and it ran fine. Shut it off and tried to restart and nothing again. Can't even take it out of park by stepping on the brake...nothing. Then I wait a few minutes go back out to try it and it starts twice and runs perfectly...WTF!!!

Any ideas ???

I think you should take it to the stealership and have them take a look at it.
My fix was some dead fuses and a loose OBD wire since its a 9 year old truck.
