I have a 1998 Chevy Silverado that backfired on me as I was going up an on-ramp to the freeway. Then the vehicle died and would not fire. After I opened the hood to see what the problem could be it smelled strong with gasoline. I tried numerous times to crank it over but no firing. I just recently stalled and replaced the fuel pump and in-line fuel filter. I have a brand new distributor and spark plugs. I tested the number one plug and it is firing with a strong arc. Cranks but no start. This was the report from my PBD II. Can anyone suggest what else I can try before I throw in the towell and tow it to the shop.
