when i turn key on i hear fuel pump, fuel pressure at test port on fuel rail is 40 psi. snapping blue spark at coil wire, weak yellow spark at secondary spark plug wires, tried a couple of wires. Rotor turns. Set at TDC, rotor points to #1. Replace plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Still no start. Checked ignition control module at Auto Zone checked good. replaced distributor with reman distributor w/pick up coil. Still no start. What am i missing. this truck is a snow plow truck at a hospital. had salt dispenser in bed. total rust bucket. sat most of time. 28,000 mi.

I want a return on my $15.00, I got no response. It took me a week but I figured it out, had water in the gas.
