Howdy to all,


     Here is my problem.  Yesterday morning, hard start. (some hesitation, usually does this  after a night in the rain) Got about 2 miles at 50mph 2 very loud  backfires, engine dies. Got it towed home. Check timing, (#1 cylinder @  TDC, timing chain did not jump) fuel, and spark. All ok. Still wont  start. Just cranks and cranks. I found 1 spark plug with a broken  insulator. As soon as I turn on the ignition, the radiator fan starts  and stays on, It has never done this before. I did a static check of  all the sensors, all check out ok. I'm thinking computer, but why would  it backfire and die? Any ideas?
