I need help. My truck has a problem starting cold/hot. It turns
over fine. i have replaced the plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor button.
but no change in the condition. There are other things that I haven't done.
If any one has any suggestions on this problem please let me know. It is a
360(5.9), 4X4,1500. Thank you.

How's the fuel pressure? Are you getting a good spark? Did this happen all of
a sudden? or slowly over time?

Have you checked for spark? Checked for fuel pressure? Sprayed a little
starting fluid into the throttle body? (If fuel is a problem, this will let
the engine fire briefly, then quit). Tried cranking it with slight pressure
on the accelerator pedal? (If you have a faulty IAC motor, this will give
the engine the air it needs to fire). Checked the battery voltage while
cranking? (Should be >11V, or computer problems could occur). Check Engine
light on? If so, retrieve the trouble codes - cycle the ignition
OFF-ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON, and read the codes displayed on the odometer. Post
them here.

Start with those simple tests, and report back.
