I have a 96 K1500 with the 5.7. I had to replace the fuel pump two weeks ago and the truck ran fine afterwards for a week, then it wouldn't start again. I looked at riter and cap, both had carbon so I replaced them, still wouldn't start (I also replaced plugs and wires). I tested the ignition coil, it showed the secondary coil was bad so I replaced it and it started and ran for a few minutes. I killed it, put air filter assembly all back together and then it wouldn't start again, no fire. I tested coil again, primary check was ok, but the secondary check shows the secondary coil is burnt out again!

Coils aren't cheap and I don't want to keep burning them up, so where do I need to look from here? Any help is greatly appreciated!
