well she's blowing gas out the exhaust that means it's not firing, Check your coil, make sure its not weak. The timing chain could be loose. If all else fails, have the truck towed to a mechanic or something. I dont think there's anything major wrong with the engine or it wouldnt even turn over.
I need to get a new coil or adjust the distributor to be on time...

Crank sensor took me like an hour to get out, because the bolts were stubborn... but yea got it none the less, took the one off the v6 fired her up and she ran... People told me use allen keys, I say don't use a very small warted wrench... those tiny ones..
