My truck will not start sometimes it will turn over till it floods and other times it will start right up when it does start it runs great no trouble idling or anything ive serviced the truck I put new fuel filter, plugs, wires, checked the ecm for exmple this morning the truck had to turn over 3 times then it started and ran great I drove to work and my wife came to get the truck and when she tried to start it it just turned over and over till it flooded ive had this problem for a couple months now

Need to verify the lack of spark when it wont start. If no spark, use a test light to be sure there is power to the coil, if it has power, use test light to see if the other wire that goes to the distributor flashes the test light when cranking, if not you may have a bad module or pick-up coil in the distributor.
