Hi. Eliminated gasoline as a possible cause; switched gas tanks with same problem. One day, a friend checked truck when it would not start, and found I wasn't getting spark to distributor; checked and found the iginition switch was bad. Replaced it, now pickup starts in the mornings when temp is a cool 70 degrees, but when weather warms up to 90 degrees or higher during the day, pickup will not start again. Wait until evening hours when temp is cooled down, and truck starts! I have already replaced Ignition Control Module, but now thinking to remove and have it checked at AutoZone; possibly bad Module?? This not getting spark problem comes and goes!?
