98’ K1500 engine starts then dies immediately.

Asked by Wde84 Mar 28, 2020 at 03:28 PM about the 1998 Chevrolet C/K 1500 Silverado Extended Cab 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

First thing is that I drove the truck the day before
and I ran fine. I parked the truck and the next
morning it would start and immediately die. No
check engine light or codes with my scanner. I have
replaced fuel filter, fuel pressure is 60psi, replace
cap rotor and plug wires, ignition coil, mas air flow
sensor. There was no change. Where should I go
from here? Crankshaft position sensor, o2 sensors,
throttle position sensor, intake air valve?

It registers rpm on tachometer when it cranks over and starts for a second before it dies. This truck also has 5.7L Vortec engine. This always seems to happen when I get a lot of rain or it is freezing cold outside.
