truck shorts out on start up but does start afterward
What is your question?
this happened only after i changed the distributor. it begins cranking normally then in the middle it will just stop cranking like it has shorted out. if i hold the key there for a second it will continue to start and run fine. i have changed the plugs, wire, starter, ignition switch, stater relay, and honestly at this point i dont know what to do next. it seems to do it on moist, cold or rainy days but not always. i am totally at a loss as what to do next

Check ignition TIMING .. Sounds awfully familiar, like ignition kick-back from over advanced ignition timing ! .. Do you hear any pre ignition (valve rattle) while going up a grade in high gear? .. Does it seem to to do this more often when the engine is at operating temperature as opposed to cold start? .. Was the timing set after distributor install using a timing light? .. Since the distributors don't give much trouble at all on the 2.4L 4 cylinders .. I am assuming it's the 3.3L V/6 (?)
hmmm well there arent many hills where i live but ill have to listen for that. no it only does it while the engine is cold. once it warms up it never seems to do it. it was set by a timing light but it was done by my father in his garage. and yes it is a v6
