I had this happen on my '92 Dak 5.2L once. It happened right after I tried
gapping the plugs. Sometimes the truck would barely start, then idle at
something like 300rpm, usually killing the engine. It seems the Jacobs
ignition can't handle gapped plugs. As soon as I gapped them back to
0.035", the rough idle and hard starting disappeared and the truck ran like
new again.
