I've got a '98 and the only problems I've had like this have been battery
related... I dunno, but it seems to me that's the easiest place to start and
if I've learned anything it's that our truck are DAMN sensitive to getting the
right amount of juice. One cleaning of the cables and one battery replacement
curried a stalling problem and a no-start situation, respectively.
Just my $.02 before you start ripping out fuel pumps and such.
Good luck.
Tom

Start with fuel filter and check out the fuel pump. Pour a bottle of fuel
injector cleaner in your gas tank. Clean your throttle body including
sensors.

Hey everyone,
The Dak has been stubborn to start the last few weeks. What used to be a
turn of the key and a few revolutions to start is now a few seconds of
cranking. I can shut it off and it will restart immediately no problem and
I can run errands etc and it starts fine. After sitting a few hours it gets
stubborn again. Where should I begin? '94 5.2, 5spd, CC, 4x4, 90K mi..
Plugs, wires etc etc, about 20K ago. Once running all seems fine.
Thx!
Randy
