You need three things to make a engine run. They are Air, fuel, and spark. If the engine turns over see if it will fire with some starting fluid. If it fire with the starting fluid odds are you have a fuel problem. I think fuel pressure for you truck should be around 50 to 60 PSI to start the engine.

tried the starting fluid doesnt appear to be getting spark..will be checking plugs and distributer. anything else i chould check?..all i did was replace the darn starter with the battery disconected so i dont think i blew a fuse or anything.

If you are not getting any spark then check you igntion module and the coil if it has one.

jiggeld every wire i could see under the hood..nothing...jiggled every wire again and checked tightness of connectors started right up.

still don't know what the cause was but its running great (for now and hopefully till the weather warms back up). wind chills were nasty and the truck was parked outside.

Replace your coil wire,and clean coil and distributor towers.
