i have a 96 1500 5.2l and i replaced the coil,plugs,wires, and distributor the other day. and it started for about 10-15 seconds and then died and now it won’t start. it’ll crank but won’t turn over. and i’m getting spark, air, fuel, and the timing is correct. and i replaced the crank sensor but that didn’t solve the problem. help

First off, cranking and turning over are the same thing. You mean it will crank but not start, correct? Shoot a little starting fluid into the throttle plate on top of the engine. If it runs a bit then dies, you aren't getting fuel. If it still doesn't start, you have an electrical issue. Give that a try and then get back with us and we'll see what we can figure out.

Was the engine running before you made all of the changes you've listed? Lastly, did you change the complete distributor or just the distributor cap & rotor?

mrelijahgardner only has 2 posts, The one here he deleted. Probably because it's old thread. He then started his own thread so he should be commended. Now if we can get the others to be more like him instead of posting on years old threads.
