Trouble Starting Engine... I could really use some help.
I have a 1990 V8 5.7 Silverado 1500. I can't get it to start anymore.
I've changed the distributor cap, rotor, plugs, and fuel pump was changed not long before I bought it (6-9 months ago). I went to O'Reilly's and had them check the ignition module and they said it was good. I unscrewed the fuel lines at the TBI and sure enough I'm getting gas there. Earlier today I took off the air filter and sprayed a shot of ether, it started and ran for about 10 sec and then shut off. Tried it again twice with no luck.
I'm by no means a mechanic so if you have a suggestion don't get too fancy with the lingo, but any and all help is welcome.

Could this be the problem?

How hard would that be to change?
