Sons 96 Tahoe 5.7l, daily driver. Has been running fine, then all of a sudden Wed afternoon, it wouldn't start. Turns over, can smell the gas, but won't start. Bought distributor cap kit and changed it this afternoon, still nothing, just turns over. Wires and plugs were done recently also. Pulled out a spark plug and it is not firing. PLEASE HELP!!

Check coil output, also check CKP sensor in timing cover.
