Hi everyone,
Nice forums you have here. Was hoping somebody might have a direction I can go get my truck to strart again. It died this weekand I cannot seem to be able to get it to start. This is what I have done so far. The truck is completely stock.

1. Checked the fuel system and fuel pump works and it is getting fuel pressure to the rail.
2. I have replaced all the igintion stuff......wires/rotor/cap/plugs...needed it put didnt fix it.
3. There seems to be no spark. I remove 2 plug and grounded and I am not getting a spark.
4. I also grounded the coil wire coming from the coil and I also see no spark. I get 10-12 volts on input of the coil but I can find anything in the book to tell what other tests I can do to make sure thats the problem.
5.What else can I check just to verify its not sensor somewhere.

I am trying to determine if that is the best way to test the coil and what else I need to do to make sure it isthat before I spend the money. Do the coils on these truck go out alot?

Thanks to Anyone that can help.

Eddie

 

sounds like your coil is definately gone...

 

check your cam postion sensor in the distrbutor , mine went last week. the dealer ended up replacing the distrbutor becauseof a faulty bushing . also check the crankshaft postion sensor. no signal no spark.
hallalua for extended warranties.

 

Can you point me to something that will tell me how to test the sensors... Can it dont with a voltmeter or it is something I cant do myself?

 

Does other electrical work? Like your battery might be gone or alternator.

 

I tested the coil the resis. are 1.7 and 17k. Are these too high or is this acceptable?

 

OK we replaced the coil and it still wont start.. Kinda at a lose as to what else it could be.

 

no spark at all, correct..

have the distributor checked first, be my guess..

 

he already replaced it i would check the cam position sensor personally, or replace it if the $$$ is there id just replace it right out

 

The cam and crank position sensors are prone to trouble. Better check 'em.
