Truck wont start
Struggling to fire up. I have replaced:
Cap
Rotor
Fuel filter

Fuel pump is priming, pulled 2 plugs and have spark. Plugs were wet so fuel is getting there.

I have an OBD tool but cant get it to run long enough to store a code. Considered gas down the cylinders so it would run long enough to store a code but as a last resort.

Help me!!

From: In my own world
if the plugs are wet, it won't start. replace them, and it should start.

nothing yet
I pulled the plugs. Cleaned and re-gapped them.
Nothing.
Will check resistance in the primary and secondary ignition coil.
