My 96 chevrolet s10 4.3 v6 truck cut off while driving thought I ran out of gas. Bleed the gas line and gas flows good. But truck will not start it turns over though, I was told to try the rotar and cap is this a good place to start. Also my rpm hand jumped up and down alot before it quit running

They have a spark tester that goes between the spark plug and the spark plug wire. You then crank it over and see if the light in it flashes. Or you can take a spark plug and touch it to ground with it hooked up to the spark plug wire. Crank it over and watch for a nice blue spark. Getting a code reader could really help us they sell basic ones on amazon for 20 and one that reads live engine data for like 54.
