    Thoughts:

    . Test all under hood and under dash fuses with a test light or multimeter.

    . Check/replace the automatic transmission gear position switch.

    . Remove any aftermarket transistorized ignition system. Replace the points and condenser, set the dwell angle, and check the timing.

    . Replace the spark plugs (ACDelco only) with the same plugs that originally came in the truck, if they have not been changed in 25,000 miles or 3 years.

    . Remove the spark plugs and check each cylinder's compression, if the problem persists. Check dry and wet.
