I have a 1998 silverado that will start sometimes and sometimes it won't. Problem just started about a month ago. A year ago, I replaced dist. cap, rotor, plugs, ignition wires, fuel pump, fuel filter. I also replaced fuel pressure regulator about 5 months ago when truck was difficult to start solving that problem.
I took it to local garage (who is friend of mine) and he kept it for 5 days. Of course it started for him everyday he had it. We wrote it off as bad gas. 2 weeks later intermittent problem started again so I replaced the ignition coil. No change. It still start most of the time but when it won't start, you can crank it as long as you like and it will not start. Today, I installed ignition module. I thought about a pickup coil but the Haynes manual only explains how to install 88-95 models. It says nothing about 96-98. Can you tell me where pickup coil is located? Is there anything else to consider besides what has already been done?
