Hey guys, first post here.
Just bought my 98 k1500 350 a couple weeks ago. It left me stranded the first week. So I went and replaced the whole ignition system. As the distributor cap was trashed.
After that the truck only needed a half a crank to start up. But recently it doesn't like to start after long trips. I'm talking about an hour or more trip. It cranks and sputters but won't start. After cranking a couple times it will fire. Yesterday was the worst. I had to crank it at least 5 times to start. Same deal. Would sputter and die. But finally fired and sounded like crap. Almost like a missfire. After warming up the idle smoothed.
So I'm anxious to hear if you guys have any suggestions. I don't want to throw money at parts that might not fix my issue.
What's weird is when it's cold and sits over night, it fires up no issues. I'm very confused.
Thank you guys for any help you can give me.
