My 1997 GMC c1500 has a 5.7 V8. Last night I replaced the spark plugs and wires, and today I replaced the distributor. After the swap the truck was running better for a few minutes, then I heard a pop sound and the truck died while I was doing about 10 mph. Now the truck won't start.
When we looked under the hood here was what we noticed so far. Spark plug #1 wire completely blew off the distributor. After some testing, we are only getting spark on cylinder #3 when checking them all at the plug wires. Assuming that it was a big misfire that blew the plug wire off but still unsure what caused it.
The truck was already running with a random/multiple cylinder misfire, multiple O2 sensor codes, and a camshaft sensor code.
Any ideas what could have caused this problem? And/or how to fix it? I have tried swapping back the old distributor, and it's still cranks but no start
