Hey. My truck has a new carb, distributor cap+rotary, spark plugs, wires, and vacuum lines. The coil is good and the battery is good. Everything works, fuel-water-oil pump, alternator, timing is right, turns over and everything great but it just wont fire up. Never had any type of problem with it whatsoever til now. I have tried everything. I can roll start it and cranks fine. When the engine is still warm it sometimes cranks sometimes not. Took it to a few shops and they cant figure it out. Im open to any suggestions that you can help me with. More thanks for much needed help.

Will it start with starting fluid? If so, has the check engine light come on? The reason I ask is because when the key is in the start position, full voltage goes to the ignition to provide a hotter spark. After it is starts, the computer should cut the voltage to extend ignition components.

Let me know.
