Timing Chain replaced, Spark Plugs and Wire replaced, Fuel Filter replaced, no strong gas smell from throttle body after pumping gas dozen times.. strong in trying to turn over but won't start.
First you need to retrace your steps...before you changed the timing chain and gears did It run ok ? what was initial problem, next put a fuel pressure gauge on your fuel line and cycle your key on to run pos, dont have to try start, just run and see if you have fuel press during the 3 sec or so pump cycles, should be around i think 35-45 roughly for tbi. so if you have good fuel pressure , then you say you have good spark, then your problem is either ingition or valve timing, did your dist.come loose, did you properly install chain & gears and align timing marks. did you have somethine else a part on it too like intake, dist, ? get back with me I'll try to help you.

restarted fine and was driven 10 miles into town. At no point during the drive was there any odd noises or loss of power, even at red lights. When I came back and tried to start the vehicle the RPM gauge showed a fluctuation from 700 to 1200 RPMs but I could drive the vehicle.
I parked at a neighboring parking lot and after a few minutes the vehicle died again and now will not start. The vehicle turns over and thinking it was a clogged fuel filter I replaced that. There was indeed a large deposit in the filter (never ran the truck out of gas, always ran it half a tank or more).
I also went ahead and replaced the spark plugs and wires. I'm getting a spark in the wires and the vehicle is strong in it's attempt to turn over but it's not starting. I removed the air filter to get to the throttle body and pumped the gas pedal a dozen times but there wasn't a strong fuel smell.
Fuel not getting to engine. Looks like a clogged line or fuel pump?
