Truck won't turn over
Hello,
I have a 1998 Chevy Silverado Pickup w/the 305 ci motor. I started it and pulled it out of my garage, turned it off and now it will crank but it will not turn over. Any idea why? I have fuel flow at the Fuel Filter and spark at the 2 spark plugs I checked...

Turn the ignition on for 2 seconds, off, on for 2 seconds, off, on for 2 seconds, and try to start it. Post back the result.

By cycling the ignition on and off like that, it builds fuel pressure to the fuel rail. If you were a little weak on fuel pressure, this would have built enough pressure to start the vehicle. But it didn't. I would say that it would be a good idea to have the fuel pressure tested with a pressure tester, just to see if there is indeed sufficient pressure.

Thanks, someone just told me he had the same problem and it was his distributor. When I tested the 2 plugs for spark, I guess they were a little weak...
