could anyone point me in the right direction for my 98 c1500 5.0l . Within the last 6 months it’s got new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel pump, fuel filter, crank position sensor.
was in the drive thru the other day and it shut off pushed it into a spot and found it has no spark from the coil pack and can’t see any rpm’s on dash, tried a new coil pack today still no spark any ideas -logan

The Vortec caps do fail pretty regularly with the poor quality of replacement parts these days. However, with it just stalling out and now no spark, I'd be more suspicious of the ignition module. Cap is an easier and less expensive "shotgun" attempt, though.
