low end pick up coil at advance auto parts is $28.88 part # EL367 GP SORENSON for dannys truck

 

so will this also not allow the fuel pump to ingage? i will go tommorow and get this part if this is the problem i have an advanced auto parts nearby. thanks.

 

I'm not sure about the fuel pump but if you don't have spark now you will

 

i tried the fuel pump suggestion by taking the hose off the pump side of the filter, and still no fuel. so... i picked up a used fuel pump and sending unit today for 100 dollars. now tomorrow in the wind and flurries, and about -10C temps, i get to drop a tank. YAY!!!!!

 

at least you know and the remedy isnt going to cost you your life savings........

well, turns out, i checked the bad splice spots for corrosion and it had already been fixed. the relays checked out, and shorting the pins of the relay plug for the fuel pump showed signs of it drawing power, but no pumping. with the fuel line off the fuel filter on the pump side, still no fuel. so, today in the blistering cold and wind, i dropped the fuel tank (tnakfully only about half full) and swapped in the 100 dollar pump i got yesterday, and it runs fine. thanks to all who helped, and hopefully the info privided in this thread can help others as they have troubles with their dakota.

 

glad to help thats what we are here for

 

Hey Josh did you get my PM

 

i have replaced the hall effect pick up and still no start, i am leaning towards the computer being bad since i have no fuel pressure but the pump is good and no spark i also noticed that the check engine light does not come on when i turn the ignition on and i heard that was a sign of the computer being bad. does anyone agree with this?
