I have 1988 Dakota that only has 35,000 original miles, it has been sitting outside for 15 years. Mice chewed up some wiring under the hood, which I went through and fixed all. I also replaced plugs, wires, distributer cap, rotor, distributer, coil, fuel pump and fuel filter. The ASD relay is fine. im getting fuel to the fuel injectors and I'm getting power to the coil but I'm not getting any spark from the coil. Can anyone help me out on what else I should check or replace!!!!

 

Check the wire to the PCM that switches the coil (it's battery --> ASD relay --> coil --> PCM).

Do you have the factory service manual? It has a troubleshooting tree for no spark.

How do I know which wires to check at the PCM and I bought a Haynes manual. The manual doesn't help out to much.

 

For wiring, that Haynes manual is not even good enough to use for toilet paper.

As I said, the FACTORY service manual - printed by Bishko for Chrysler.

They're available on Ebay used, also; plus some folks have the PDF version on CD for you there.

As to "which wires" - well, the one that's not at 12V? Goes to the PCM. It's got a color scheme, and a size, so I'd check for that wire going in.

But to help some - here's a copy of the troubleshooting from the FSM (the one I own for my 1988). It's attached to this message.
