No spark, please help,
I have a 1992 E-150 chateau 351. The van ran fine until it was parked last week and when I went to start it it ran like it was runing on only four holes. I thought maybe some condensation had built up in the cap but I was wrong. The cap and rotor looked ok but I replaced them anyway. Still the van would not run, at all, I replaced the coil wire lead to the distributor, same deal, I replaced the coil, still no spark, I then replaced the computer and still no spark. I have pulled out different plugs and still no spark at any of them. So I have concluded that the plugs, wires, coil, computer are not the issue. I have also checked all of the fuses, and the fused in the main fuse block. They are all fine. The van does have a factory anti-theft alarm and it has been going off for no reason, thats why the van was parked in the first place and I disconected the battery to get it to stop. Does the van have a kill switch built into the anti-theft that makes it not run? Can I disable the alarm. I need to get the van running by the weeks end for a trip. Please help

Yes, I have tried, locking, unlocking with both the keyless and the key both inside and outside of the van. The anti-theft blinks and I can't seem to figure out how to get it off or even if it is on in the first place. I have tried rolling down the window engaging the anti-theft and then opening the door from the inside. The alarm goes off but I can disable it by unlocking the drivers door and or pressing unlock on the keyless remote. Thanks, Eric
