Anyone else have the issue where if you don't start your truck every day, it won't start at all? Lately I have been having this issue. When it first started doing this, I pulled the distributor cap, and noticed the aluminum contacts were corroded, which surprised me considering the cap was only 6 months old. So I replaced it with a brand name one with brass contacts. That worked great, for a week. When I try to start it, it sounds like it wants to start, but if I play with the throttle, it will back fire. Once I get it running, the only code it ever throws is the dreaded p0300 random misfire, Which I'm pretty sure is because I have the wrong spark plugs in it, which I plan to correct tomorrow. I had some shade tree mechanic help me with head swap and he said it would run fine with the cheap copper core a/c delco's. It has run fine like this for about a year now. still throwing the p0300, but reliable. First start every time. The fuel pump is about 6 months old and I am getting fuel pressure. I went through the hassle of using a cheap fuel pump and having it fail after a month. Learned my lesson about the right pump. Any ideas guys? I need this fixed before this weekend. Me and my wife can share one vehicle during the week but need separate vehicles for the weekend, conflicting work schedules.
