the last few days my work truck (91 dodge ram van) hesitating when accelerating. It would do this usually when truck accelerated from a stop at about twenty mph. it ran other than that. Today while on the express way (going about 60 mph) it sputtered out lost power and stalled. Now it wont start. I pulled the spark plug wire and saw a spark when i cranked it. It fires, only briefly, if I spray starting fluid in carb. Any Ideas as to what the problem may be? I am leaning toward fuel pump/filter but am not sure how to check.what else in the fuel system could cause this type of problem. a Friend has suggested to check the pcv valve. Could it be a vacuum or timing issue? Any advice on potential solution or diagnostic tips would be appreciated
