Not sure what that is. I'm googling it now.

 

haha found it, crap! its a $50 part. I hate throwing parts at this truck without knowing it will fix it. But this suggestion makes a the most sense so far. Does the distributor have to be removed to replace this part? I cant see or reach **** in this truck. Thanks.

Any other ideas?

 

I'd like to get a second on the distributor pick-up as well as some advicefrom anyone that has installed one before I go and drop $50 on it. Thanks so far for the help.

 

The coil is firing, that implies that those parts are doing what they should. Since you are losing spark after the coil wire, I would take a long hard look at the dist cap, and rotor. Where did you get them? What brand?

I went thru THREE Auto Zone distributor caps in less than two weeks. They would work for a bit, and then fail. Leaving me on the side of the road. I was not a happy camper. Went to advanced, but a good quality cap and rotor (Accell), and never had a problem with it again.

 

Cap and rotor are Excell from Andvance. I hate Auto Zone as well. We have a local chain called VIP that is worse, believe it or not.

 

It is possible that the coil is simply weak, and will jump the plug gap, but, not the rotor, AND the plug gap...... If you have a spare to test with, that would be ideal.....

What does the spark look like?

 

I have now replaced the plugs, wires, cap, rotor, pickup... still wont start. Still get spark at the coil but do not get spark to the plugs.

If I put a wire and plug directly on the coil it fires, I get correct voltage to the coil hot wire.

Is it at all possible that it is the computer or the distributor? If the computer was faulty would I be getting spark at the coil and correct voltage to the coil hot wire?

I guess I will try a new coil next. I am going to go broke $50 at a time.

 

i was wondering if u found out what the problem is i am havin the same problem.

 

The truck is in the shop now. They think it is the computer, but havent been able to narrow it down yet. I'll keep you posted.

 

I just ran into the same problem. what was the out come of your problem?
