    I would replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil, which are not expensive on most Chevy trucks of this generation, if they have not been replaced in the last 120,000 miles or 10 years. ICMs, particularly, are problematic on these trucks; coils less so. You may have spark, but the plugs may not be firing when they are supposed to. Easy job.
