Alright. I've finally got some parts in and had a chance to try a few things out. However the condition has gotten worse. The truck won't start at this point I have gotten it to start a few times but I haven't gone more than 5 feet without it cutting out on me again. I haven't dared to take it further yet.
I replaced the VSS, but since the truck isn't starting I don't think this was the culprit.
The engine is turning over just fine and when I pulled the plugs to replace them about 1/2 of them were soaked with fuel. So fuel delivery doesn't look like a problem. (Although at this point my engine is probably a bit flooded...) All of the plugs where failrly well covered with the black soot but the others were otherwise dry.
This leads me to either the coil and amp (as mentioned before) or the cap\rotor as the culprits. I had replaced the plugs\cap\rotor\plugs this past spring. Although the cap\rotor wasn't genuine. With 1/2 of the plugs being soaked does this point towards the cap\rotor or the coil\amp?
Thanks,
Tim
