Had the same problems with a 88 ck1500 and it was the secondary in the coil breaking down.

No a '94 does NOT have a crank sensor.
It has a distributor cap and rotor.

What have you done to the truck so far?
Checked for spark and replaced a coil but have you done anything else?

I've had the same problem before and it turned out to be a crank shaft sensor. the ignition coil is also a good bet.

Glad she is back on the road and running well again.

Thank you for posting what the final fix was.
Now when someone does a search maybe this will help them.
