truck has 168k on it no issues really. After truck sits and when wet/rain doesn't want to start. Tried map sensor, fuel sensor. Sometimes smell fuel when cranking and wont start. Backfires and sometimes catches and runs. other times starts and runs no issues. sometimes cuts out but then runs fine.
Codes come up off and on as miss fire on cyl. but light goes away

This is probably the easiest fix! What gave it away was how it acts up when it's wet outside.
You need to replace the distributor cap, rotor and ignition wires. Spark plugs too if you haven't had a tune up in a while.

It does not have cap and rotor. Replaced wires recently

If you have the 4.3 liter V6 engine, then you DO in fact have a distributor cap and rotor.
