Hmm...it could be the distributor or a wiring issue. If you really want to try a distributor, A user on here, pwrranger88, is selling a dizzy for a 2.9 liter if you want to try one. I just bought the TFI off of it so you'd have to put yours on it to try it on your truck.

Its cheap and better than buying new ya know?

What a mess...wiring is a PITA isnt it? My truck looks like spaghetti and of course, the previous owner did a nice hackjob on it.....
