Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Just got truck out of shop. Distributor replacement.
Ok. Truck was still running like shit, tired of dealing
with So-Called Mechanic. Cranked it at Lunch,
idling letting warm-up like usual. Truck Dies. Won’t
Crank. Just spins. Me Personally changed Crank
sensor, timing Chain/sprockets, and I can’t Verify
anything else cause I Had to leave for work.
Mechanic had truck almost 2 weeks. Didn’t use my
Distributor I bought and provided. It’s sitting here
beside me. Anyway. I personally changed Fuel
Pump at mechanic shop. Well, now the bitch died
while Idling and will not Crank no more. Just
Spinning over!!! Just had my Co-worker watch the
Ignition Coil that is brand New. I changed that too.
He said no spark was going to the Wire!!
Maybe a IGNITION CONTROL MODULE???? Idk
cause I don’t have a Computer to tell me
NOTHING!!!

Turning over is cranking , spinning sounds like the starter isn't engaging , It doesn't start is that the problem ? Things need to be tested before you replace parts nilly willy . Check for proper spark , fuel pressure , injector(s) pulse .

It’s a brand new starter man. Not trying to be smart ass. But it’s spinning over it’s got No Spark.
