Gene, ethanol gas blend start to turn at about 90 days. Key word being starts.

As far as the truck goes. If you don't have good spark it will not run well if at all so get the spark problem fixed first.

Then I would check to see if you have water in the gas. The ethanol will only absorb so much and with setting for 3 years you may have gotten enough condensation to cause some problems. You also have or are going to have some fuel filter issues. After setting that long I would bet that you are going to go through at least 3 or 4 filters in a short time. Depending on the year you may have one or 2 wires that feeds voltage to the coil. Some of the older Chevy trucks had a feed from the switch that passed a full 12 volts to the coil for starting and another that took over once the key was in the run position that had a resistor in line dropping it to 8 volts.
