91 chevy truck won't start

[K M]

1991 R3500 with 454 TBI. Parked it in the driveway running fine, now
it won't start. Gets gas, fire and spins over fine. Appears to be in
time. Tries every now and then to start, but can't seem to get
going. I am out of ideals. Only code on it is a 12, which is no
help. Any ideals?

Wet spark plugs.

Change the sparkplugs.

Or....if your too lazy to do that..........
wait for someone else to give you an easier task to attempt.

Even though it has all those electronics it still is an internal combustion
engine. If it sparks fine and is definitely getting fuel then you need to
look at compression. I would try to put a little fuel down the throttle body
first, if it starts on that just momentarily then it is the fuel pump or
fuel injector. If it doesn't try to fire on that make sure your plugs are
good and crank it over with the plugs out to dry it out (a compression check
would be good at this point). Put the plugs in and spray a little WD-40 down
the throttle body, if it doesn't start momentarily then, it could be a
timing chain issue. I think you failed to put the mileage in your post,
which would help in determining the condition of the engine.

It is not RARE for GM /AC plugs to go bad all at once .

I learned my lesson with AC plugs in the 80's, My CHEVY WRECKERS did
not like them. I switched to CHAMPION back then
