I am working on a 03 DC. Ok what I got is a 3.3 liter with 86,000 miles on it. I have no spark and no keyed power to the coil. I replace ECM, crank sensor, and cam sensor. All it does is crank over, what am I missing? Is there something I should look at? Any help greatly appreciated Thanks!

 

Have you ck all your fuse's and ASD relay?

 

yes I have checked every thing under the hood. cant find any in van. have changed the relay positions and nothing. I got the ECM from auto zoo, could they of sold me the wrong one? I am lost

 

Did you program the pcm?

 

ok It was my thought that it was ready to install. what does it take to program the pcm? Thanks

 

In an '03 model year, you can plug it in and have it work unless you have the SKIM system (grey headed key). If you have skim, the vehicle won't start unless you transfer the key data from the skim module to the new PCM. If no skim, the vin and mileage should be programmed but shouldn't cause starting issues.

 

thanks, I believe I have a single board pcm. I talk to a former dealer and they they said the same, so what else can I chase down, IM still lost with no were to go yet Thanks

 

First we start with the coil. The brown / white wire that goes to the coil is from the ASD relay. It is energized for 2 seconds when you first turn the key on and then while cranking. Make sure you have power there first. The other 3 wires are the ground side drivers that fire the coils. You want to take a test light and connect it to battery positive. Then you probe the other 3 wires while cranking the engine. The test light should flicker on and off like it is trying to fire the coils. No light or a constant light is bad. Do that and let me know what you get.

 

Thank you very much tizzy1. I ran outside and done what you said,and no power to the brown and white wire. so I ran 12 volts to it and it fired up,THANK GOD< and YOU. I think i will just run keyed power to it and call it good..Now I got to get the parking brake ustuck from it setting but thats nothing like wiring Thanks again very much greatfull

 

so what would be the next step after that test if not getting power at those points Tizz1?
