It is possible that the wiring of the cap was lost during the replacement. Included are some diagrams for the 6 and 8 cylinder. Confirm the sequance with the truck documentaTION.
POPING IS A IGNITION PROBLEM (MAY BE VALVE)? BUT IT WAS RUNNING. CORRECT..NOW FIX THE FUEL PROBLEM AND DO A MAJOR TUNE UP.. CAP/ROTOR/WIRES/AND PLUGS. GET IT RUNNIG FIRST DO NOT COMPLICATE IT
Check the plug wire from the ignition coil to the distributor cap. If you haven't already, replace the distributor cap and rotor. The GM Vortec's have issues with moisture getting inside the cap and rotor and causing problems.
Please change the rotor and cap before you go any further. The rotor tip can be worn which can prevent charge from getting to the plug wire. The contacts inside the cap could also be corroded.
If the truck was running prior to changing the plugs and rotor, there's not much that could have gone wrong. You didn't mention changing the distributor cap. That usually goes hand in hand with changing the rotor. Make sure the rotor wasn't installed 180 degrees off. Double check the spark plug wires to make sure they are on the right plug. If that all checks out, then you need to pull a spark plug and check for spark and fuel at the cylinder.
I WOULD CHECK IGNITION FUSE TO SEE IF POWER GOING TO COILS AND IGNITION MODULE. REPLACE DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND ROTOR.HAVE IGNITION TIMING CHECK.DISTRIBUTOR CAN SLOWLY WORK A LOOSE JUST A LITTLE TO THROW OFF IGNITION TIMING SO PLUGS WONT GET NO SPARK.
is it possible the rotor is in the wrong position remove cap and rotor and flip the rotor 180 degrees and you might get lucky hope this helps good luck
That old of a vehicle you might want to take the cap off and check to see if the shaft is turning. You will be able to see the rotor turning. Also look inside the cap and see if the rotor and cap are good inside.
You said you changed the ignition coil module, not sure if you mean you changed the coil too, if not change that.
sounds like you haven't indexed the rotor correctly or the cap isn't seated correctly. Did you replace the plug wires correctly? Dis you bump the position of the distributor?
