My truck died off about a month ago, the last few symptoms where runing ruff and missing, then it never started again,I owend the Haynes and chilton books and tested everything,I also replaced the distributor with an included Ignition module,cap and rotor, coil and at last found a new computer for it, still is not cranking.
I have fuel,the rotor turns,good battery.
Why does this truck don't Start?

Did you test the fuel pressure at the rail with a gauge? Did you test the ignition system according to the Haynes procedure in Ch5 Sec7? Did you pull the codes?

You don't even need a volt meter. Click on the blue link in Steve's post and you'll find the directions.

I haven't got time to mess around with it by my next step is going to be reading carefully how to pull codes and go from there,steve83 was gentle and gave to us all we need to pull codes. since the EEC-IV monitors and gives comands to so many emission components we need the codes to go straight to the problem, on of those components is probably fried and the EEC-IV is saying sorry no spark.
Now I'm going back to my six and watch racing Bye !!
