Thunder won't start. What am I missing?
This truck sat for who knows how long. The person before me put another ECM and coil on it. I know because the old ones are still bolted to it. Cleaned the fuel system, changed the fuel pump (was bad), and it fired right up. Started it every day for a week, then nothing. It just wont start. Changed wires, cap, rotor, and nothing. the Coil is firing, but even with dumping gas down it's throat, it won't kick over like before. The pump is still pumping.

More information on your truck would help. Assuming your truck has a PIP sensor in the distributor, my first guess would be that. There are ways to test it, you can find it in a Haynes book or probably on line. You can also change the PIP, but I found it easier just to change the whole distributor.
