I have a 1987 Silverado, stock 305 with tbi. I cranked the truck the other day, pulled the truck down to the house so me and the wife could go for a ride. truck ran fine but when we went to leave the truck would not start. it cranks but no start. it has all new fuel system and tbi parts. I drove the truck every day for about a year with no problems. I checked the fuel pumps are coming on and priming and I put a new coil in it from another motor that ran when pulled. I checked all fuses and they look good, ecm1 ecmb. what else am I missing? the truck ran good, shut it off and then 15 minutes later it won't start.

truck is fixed and running better than ever. I ended up putting a new distributor in it and she's running good.

87 had a lot of reliability issues in the distributors (first year for a lot of them)
