Check and see if you are getting power to the coil while cranking. (can test the injectors instead, may or may not be easier, ASD supplies power feed to both)

Download the FREE service manual from the FAQ/DIY section and start tracing wires. And would you PLEASE add ALL the info about your truck to your sig AND profile.
