I have a 1994 F-250 XL with the 300 inline and when I put the key in the ignition and turn it just to the on position, I get an error beeping, Not like a key-in chime but an error.

I used a spark checker, and it doesnt seem like Im getting spark between the coil and the dist.

Anyone got some tips to help me figure out the issue here? I really want to save my truck, but im really poor. So shops aren't an option.

 

Error sound hey, I hope I never hear that...you know, the Haynes manual is very good in the spark department, step by step stuff. You would need a multimeter and a test light though. There's a good chance the local library has a manual to lend, if you don't what to buy one, better than throwing parts at her..

 

Sadly we have one, and are working through it the best we can, but are still fairly stumped. lol.

 

Well if you have the multimeter and the test light, that will help a lot. I would start by looking for any stored codes...for example I recently had a code 14 during a no spark situation. It was a bad distributor, but that code sent me right to it...so check for any codes you may have

 

This is going to sound really dumb, but where is the port to check for codes?
