To diagnose a potential ignition module failure on your 1997 Chevy G3500 during initial startup, listen for inconsistent or rough engine cranking, which may indicate a weak spark. Check for any ignition module-related trouble codes using an OBD-II scanner, and inspect for signs of overheating or physical damage to the module. Additionally, examine the spark plugs and wires for wear, as these can also contribute to a lean running condition. If the engine runs well once started but struggles initially, it may be worth testing the module's output voltage and considering replacement if it’s below specifications.
