I had two other vehicles they failed on and had no code either time. Both were intermittent and would start and run sometimes but other times a no start.
I would hook a pressure gage into the fuel rail and check it. If the vehicle is cranking over good and its not starting lack of fuel is probably at the top of the list.

I have heard they have no fuel filter, just a screen attached to the fuel pump.
I haven't had any problems with this one so where to check the fuel pressure I am not certain of.
The other two vehicles I spoke of were easy to hook a gauge too. One of them I managed to get 15 gal. Of gas out of while the fuel pump decided to work for a bit. The day before it wouldn't start at all.
It made dropping the previously full tank way easier.
In both cases i replaced the fuel pump.

The furnace wouldn't concern me at all but I looked a bit at mine and I don't see any easy way to check the fuel pressure at the fuel rail at least. It would seem they have made this more of a challenge than some of the other vehicles I have tested. One of them had a Schrader valve on it, that was easy.Why do you think this will be a problem? Assuming you don't have a gas leak, I see no real issues. Maybe if the tail pipe is vented right out at the furnace, there may be an issue, but you don't need to run it long.
And yes the more advanced scan tools can do this but you are talking about the option 3 ones Bill mentioned here . I am seriously thinking about getting a xtool d7or d8 . These appear to open up a whole world of functionality beyond what I have now.
Interesting. I got the impression that checking the fuel pressure from a scan tool was not possible on this vehicle from a mechanic's YouTube video.

Might be true. Its possable on other and or newer vehicle's. Scotty Kilmer was checking one out, the d8 i think. It was an older f250 but it showed the fuel pressure. The car care nut was impressed with it as well, he's that toyota mechanic that posts many useful videos. It opens my eyes alot compared to what I have. I haven't bought one yet but might, its so far beyond what I have at the moment. But also the odds you might actually need this tool are rather slim. One trip to the dealer that might be avoided by having it could cover the cost easily.
