Mike...

I gave up yesterday. Dropping it off at the dealer tomorrow. Fuel
pressure I found to be good, the computer checks fine etc... maybe the
o2 sensor but not sure. I cant afford to just start replacing stuff.
Truck runs real bad. wont pull any hills, I mean literally. I was stuck
the other day trying to get up a steep hill, let the clutch out and just
wouldnt take any fuel, choked out and stalled. It doesnt want to start
either, if I crank the key it wont happen, BUT if I just bump the key
for a second and get the crank to turn once it will fire up and idle???
confusing problem... Usually it is the fuel pump, perhaps you should
check your pressure, its a $10 easy check...

But sounds like you really have a spark problem, maybe try a new coil on
it, run some injector cleaner through you TBI and again check your fuel
pressure...
