Check all your vacuum hoses especially at the PCV coming off the valve cover it is often over looked. The PCV fits loose either put a new bushing in the cover or add some black tape to the PCV at least until you figure out that might be the issue.

Contrary to popular belief You can use a timing light you can see the timing mark know about where it is and line up the fly wheel mark accordingly.
It starts perfectly but why does it shut down immediately?

Why 4x4 doesn't turn all 4 wheels at same time? 4hi-4lo
4X4 actually provides power to the front 2, and the back 2.
Unless the back has limited slip or posi-track, if 1 wheel spins, the other will not turn.
Since the front wheels have to turn at different rates to accomodate turning radius differences, there is (usually) to limited slip on the front differential, so if one wheel spins, the other will not turn.
So, if you have one front wheel spinning at the same time as one back wheel is spinning, and you don't have posi-trac, you're stuck.

How to adjust headlights.....1998 GMC
Open your hood. Look right above your headlights just inside the hood area, you'll see a small steel rod sticking up. To it's outside, against the fender is another one. They have tiny hex heads on them. Find a good fitting socket and adjust away. The fender side rod is in and out, the inside one is up/down.
