Default Help no spark

97 3.9 5sp. one day no start.. find that rats got in and chewed 1 fuel injector wire and the 2 pig tails to the carb. breaks fixed, and now no spark. have no power at the coil, but have power up to the ASR with the connecter in the power dist box unhooked, (dk green/ orange wire)but no power when plugged in. the same wire feed power to the coil injectors and 02 sensors, havent found any shorts to ground or other open wires. another PCM unit tried with out any change.....

That type of attitude usually gets you no help at all!

You need to be looking at the cam position sensor or the crankshaft position sensor. Both of them control the power to the coil.

Just about every time there is a "no start" symptom you can bet it is the crankshaft position sensor, or that has been my experiance anyway.
