Your wife knows how to pull a coil wire? And that doing so will keep the engine from starting? She knows that... Really???



If she did that, she did something else too and isn't telling you. If that was all, and you got it properly plugged back in, then you should be fine.

I still call BS.

I know this doesnt help the thread any at all but I'm real curious why she was trying to keep him from leaving. Also, check fro 2 of the three things an engine need to run, fuel and fire. Are the plugs firing. Are they somehow wet from fuel? Is the fuel pump running. Do you have the required fuel pressure for the injectors. I kind of think maybe the plugs have fouled even though it is almost impossible on an injected engine but I dont know how long you cranked it over with no spark or if you hit the accelerator while it was turning over. Just not enough information for me to make an accurate judment.

Question thanks to all

absolutely positive thats all she did,she needs the truck too. I was thinking there may be some sort of problem arose when the truck was being turned over with no spark! maybe i'll pull plugs and check them. thanks to all who responded. FYI... if youre wondering, we were arguing and i told her that i was leaving and not coming back. weve made up and she wants to see the truck running to.

I would have her show you exactly what she pulled. This sounds to me like more of a problem then what she's saying.
