No spark from coil to distributor, no spark to cylinders, yes the rotor turns when you crank engine. Ran like a new truck for 11 miles yesterday after new plugs wires coil cap and rotor.
couldnt find any bad wires on left side going up towards battery, took off washer jug, tried a new regulator on the bulkhead just now, leaning towards ignition pick up assembly or pcm....but dont wanna keep throwing parts at it

Update....well now I feel like an idiot, after all the parts I threw at the truck I put a new stator in tonight after work, started ten dies, then just cranked and cranked.....after cussing and saying whats going on, i look at a relay on the left front fender....cracked andnot all the way in.... push it in truck starts and runs fine, pull relay truck des, then just cranks
now my question is was it a fuel pump relay, or the auto shutdown relay
