OK my truck has a very hard time starting this just started over night, it turns over and over then if it dose start the hole truck shakes. I replace the ignition coil. and the fuel pump is working. plenum replaced.
Other times it just starts right up.
Try turning the key on and off 4 or 5 times first (without starting). Then see if it starts. And does it do this after sitting overnite or anytime? (like even after it's started the first time)
I would suspect a cracked distributor cap. Mine did EXACTLY what yours is doing, mostly in the morning when it was more humid with a dew covered truck. I replaced the distributor & rotor cap together & the problem is now gone.

Good call, that's where I was going after I found out if it didn't start even after warm up. Then I was going to move on to the ECT sensor.
