Truck wont start

[amikk97]

well, it just seems to be problem after problem but, I had it running perfect today and about 30 mins ago I had it running because I had to move some sticks and stuff and it ran fine, although it did putter a little bit when I was going in reverse, but then went back to normal, and when I turned it off, 5 mins later I went back out to move it and it wouldent start. it cranks strong like it should but it wont turn over. its getting gas because I can feel the injectors and they are all wet and I could see that gas was getting to the engine. im stumped. someone help

I should also say I tried putting gas down intake, and still nothing

It could be a timing issues also if the chain stretched or jumped a tooth.

Unplug a plug wire at the plug, pull back the boot, and hold the end of the wire to a grounded steel component (you chose) as close as you can without contact. Have someone crank the truck and watch for an arc between the two (it will look like a small bolt of lightning). OR buy a cheap spark tester at your local auto part store and save the hassle.

Coils bad, or lost power to the coil. Not a real lot that can go wrong, even with an ecm and injectors the same rule of thumb applies. Spark, fuel, air, fire.

any other thoughts anyone?

Ok i went out today and checked and there was a spark so i put some gad down the intake and she fired up but shortly died. Now she will only start with gas in the intake so i guess this is a fuel problem now?
