Got in my 2013 2LT this morning and she wouldn't fire up. Tried starting her 3-4 times but like the title says of this post says: cranks fine, just won’t start. I have a CAI cold air intake and a Elite catch can, but those mods were installed 18 months ago. Nothing recent except for replacing a couple of burnt our fog lights yesterday afternoon. Oh yeah, there's not a single error code on my dash and all gauges show normal levels.

I'm going to listen for my fuel pump for the normal priming sound when I get home. Just an educated guess, but I wouldn't expect to the FP to go bad at 62,000 miles.

Has anyone else experience this problem? Any other suggestions on how I can trouble shoot and fix this issue?

Try turning key on wait a few seconds and turn off, then back on and wait a few seconds and then try and start. That will determine if it is fuel pressure leak down. It primes and allows pressure to build first.
