dont see it on the list but did u check or replace the fuel filter, clogged fuel filter are big thing.  I had a 97 xcab and changed the fuel filter and fuel pump cause of the wining noise and it seemed to help run better hope this helps

Are you sure that you hooked up the spark plug wires in order? If not its not going to start. I would check that and make sure that the firing order is also right.

I just spend two weeks tryng to figure out what was wrong with my Suburban and it was the fuel filter. I totally thought it was something ignition related so I replaced a bunch of stuff up there first.   Make sure you check the fuel pressure. It should be over 60 psi when you turn on the key and it shouldn't bleed off right away.Do you have any check engine lights?
