I was driving down the highway when my truck a 2007 dodge 1500 5.7 hemi started to sputter giving it more gas did nothing until it stalled I got the check gauges light but all gauges looked normal while driving it turns over but won't fire I got an EGR code I cleaned my throttle body and the old and new throttle body the valve responds to my pedal pressure on my dash I get a check engine light and the red lightning bolt symbol I checked my Schrader valve when cranking and there's no fuel coming out at all when cranking and depressing the Schrader valve any advice would be helpful

Sounds like you have a fuel pump issue make sure you do have gas in it guages do get stuck its a old truck..have seen it many times have someone turn key see if you hear the pump in the tank.

Tank showed just above a quarter tank I went to fuel up put 40 bucks in which is more than I would've needed to make the trip and it died on me maybe 20 mins after gassing up I took the gas cap off on the side of the road so I could listen to the fuel pump and heard nothing so I put the gas cap back on and no change I don't have a fuel pressure gauge but just holding the Shrader valve on the fuel line while turning over 0 gas came out the small bolt I used to depress the valve was bone dry would the ETC light come on from a bad fuel pump since there is an incorrect fuel air ratio?

your ETC light is not relevant because the trucks not running sounds like you have a bad fuel pump or no power to it truck would still runn with a ETC light.

I agree with jws123, bad fuel pump or relay. Light will be on as long as the engine's not running.
