Default 94' 4.3 1500, sputtered and shut off

My sons 94 chevy 1500 pick up started sputtering today. He went and bought gas and on the way home it just shut off. He pushed it about a mile home. Turns over but no start. What do you think we should look at? Fuel pump maybe? I am 60 miles away from the truck right now but I am going to see it tomorrow. Thanks!

Well you ruled out running out of gas, could be the fuel pump among a few other things. Id test the pressure on it first before you buy one.

Crappy gas would be my first guess.

Was it high octane?

Guess #2-ICM in the distributor.
