1997 c1500 5.7 V8 no start
All I did was remove the intake/unplug the sensors, and added a fuel additive to the tank and it started right up. With the intake on and/or the sensors plugged in it wouldn't start The two sensors are the mass airflow sensor and the air intake temperature sensor- 97c1500guy

1997 c1500 5.7 V8 no start
When it started, I didn't have the intake put on so the mass airflow sensor wasn't on and it cranked up right away. The only thing I changed was putting the air box intake back on and reconnecting the sensors and it wouldn't start The battery has a 2021 date and I've been cranking it over a lot...- 97c1500guy

I have installed the new ignition coil and module, and double checked the distributor. It was not sitting 100% properly in the housing, as well as the cap was not on all the way. After fixing those things the truck started and was running. I let it run for a few minutes and then turned it off...- 97c1500guy

I haven't pulled the spark plugs yet, I was just testing for spark at the wire. Will check them today for sure. I'm sure that when I installed the new distributor it was correct because it started and I drove it down the road smoothly until something popped. It is possible that when I...- 97c1500guy

These were my codes before the swap. I was searching for the misfire and noticed the old distributor cap was ziptied in place by the previous owner and damaged so that was why I was wanting to replace it. But it was actually running before I swapped the distributor- 97c1500guy

I am also unsure how the plug wire came off. I am pretty sure when it happened it damaged the new distributor, but when I look at the cap and rotor they appear to be in working condition. when I put the old one back in it still doesn't start, and still only sparks on cylinder #3 I'm like 90%...- 97c1500guy

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...- 97c1500guy
