check pickup in the distributor
ECM the computer can be the problem if no start and even when truck will start but is inconsistant at starting and stalling. If the ECM has not been changed in 5 to 6 years then it is likely due. Any moisture problems on the drivers floor will likely increase the odds of it being the computer. Joe
I'm not a mechanic but it sounds like there has been a mixup involving your spark plug wires , either at the coil pack or at the spark plugs

Yes. Bad spark plugs, bad spark plug wires and a bad distributor cap are the common causes of rough idling. If it has been a while since you changed these components, do so.

Do you have fuel pressure at the rail? Has the timing been changed significantly?
after market radio can do this
If it is only one, most likely not. If the ign. wires and plugs have not been changed for a long time, then it is time. Check coil pac's and spark, also check fuel pressure and filter.
had this problem once in a sedan. The engine oil had not been changed for a long time and had turned to sludge. Sounded like crap to me because when you pulled out the dip stick it looked ok. After oil and filter was changed it started and ran fine!
You should always check the gap to make sure a plug hasn't been dropped on the end and changed the gap.
