going to try replacing the asd and fuel relays, but any other ideas are sooo welcome at this point

also, there were no trouble codes when we tried to find one, and the computer was tried on another truck and worked. we thought it might have been the computer, but it worked fine....waiting to see if the relays fixed it. the dang thing ran just fine three days ago, but the weather was really hot and maybe something got cooked? *sigh*

okay, fuel pump NOT working, relays didn't fix problem, they were tested and deemed to be working......really lost now lol
Did you take a meter and trace the primary ignition from the coil backwards?
isabrowneyedsue answered 13 years ago
no, we didn't try that. would we be looking to see where the power starts?
Did you ever get this resolved?
no. I have same problems. no spark to coil. is there a diagram of the electrical system?
