Truck will not start

[JJZ71]

Besides the knock sensor error code the truck has been working fine. This morning it will not start and it back fired twice. Any ideas? Suppost to be leaving for a camping trip in three hours.

Well it's not much help, but start by checking fuel and ignition, it could be several thing's.

Pull #1 plug and ground verify you have spark??? are the injectors squirting consistant???

 

[JJZ71]

Pulled the front right spark plug wire off (not sure which #1 is) and tried to start - no spark. Put the wire back on and it started!!!!!
Fluke, probably. Were camping this weekend though. If I dont start posting by Tuesday night, come looking for me!!!!

X2 That's exactly what i was going to say, the ignition modules seem to fail pretty often on the TBI 350's.
