Edit. The confusing thing is that I didn't mess with the distributor at all until after the issue popped up. I just can't figure out what could be causing my problem. I have fuel and spark and the starter turns the motor. Tue truck just won't start

OK. So now I am confiused.....The fuel synch is OK "if" you did not pull or turn the distributor. What do you mean by "didn't mess with the distributor at all until after the issue popped up.." What did you do to distributo and when did you do it? Info is not clear.

All I did was remove the cap and rotor. Fuel sync was just a guess because I have fuel and spark

Swap the ASD relay with the fog light or horn relay and try again.

Not that I can tell. The motor ran for about 10 seconds on the passenger side bank yesterday and then cut off. Then I remembered I never plugged the drivers side sparkplugs back in. after I plugged them back in the motor wasting start at all. I'm ring to figured out what damage was done due to running it on one bank of cylinders
