Truck was running fine, check engine light came on but the truck was still running fine no issues in performance. Two days later, truck ran fine first half of the day, I killed it, went inside for about 20 minutes came back out to leave & truck was hard to start, would rough idle for a few seconds & die. Ran OBD2 Scanner got P1345. Replaced camshaft sensor & crankshaft sensor, still wouldn't start, then I replaced the fuel pump before I realized the problem was actually the fuel pump relay...so I fixed the relay & the truck started right up. Ran fine until half way thru the next day, then suddenly just died while going down the fwy in Downtown Dallas. So I took the cap off the distributor & saw it had spun the rotor off, so I put a new rotor on it & it started up drove about 10 miles before it Backfired (popped) real loud & died AGAIN. So, I bought another new rotor cap, & new plugs & wires, hell even went ahead & bought a new battery...changed those out, was able to finally get it to start up but was a rough start & wouldnt idle on its own, had to keep my foot on the gas petal to keep it from dying. Had it towed to where it sits now & hasnt started back up since I towed it from the fwy. Now, when Im trying to start it it's steadily popping & won't start at all. Any input whatsoever would be greatly appreciated. I'm stranded 391 miles from home until I can get it fixed.
