If you do not have the PIP it will not turn on the Fuel Pump Relay or TFI.
To bypass the EEC control of the Fuel Pump Relay ground the pin 6 on the Data Link Connector.
The TFI will fire base timing if you pull out the SPOUT.

Profile ignition pickup, but yes, it is the primary timing information source for the computer - it's a hall effect sensor. I still think the problem is somewhere in the wiring and power supply to the fuel pump and EEC relays.

Thanks
Thanks
The EEC uses the PIP to find out if the engine is running or not and if the engine is not running at 120 rpm or above it turns off the fuel pumps.
No PIP is zero rpm and the fuel pumps are off.
Note that the EEC will turn on the fuel pumps for one second to pre-pressurization the system when the key is first turned to the on position.
The book says it will also turn on the fuel pumps while cranking but I do not know if the PIP is required for this or not.
And of course with no PIP coming out of the TFI you will get no spark.

My 88 F250 did the same thing,I replaced the Fuel pump relays ect... no luck.
It was a combination of a bad wire on the Voltage Reg and at the same time the Inertia Fuel Shutoff Switch was tripped?
I fixed the wire and reset the Inertia Fuel Shutoff Switch and she fired right up.
Hope you get it going!

he can't pull codes... have you checked the eec relay and fuse? You need a working computer before you bother trying to diagnose the fp issue
