5.8 no spark.

just bought this truck from this guy knowing it has no spark. its a 89 f-250 with a 351w. tfi is on the dissy. I am getting no switching ground tho i am getting a signal from the pip out wire(blue) I back pined all wires coming out of ICM on distributor. Under truck a harness is ripped out guy said harness got caught in driveshaft and stoped running.. looking under there i see wire goign through gear selector switch. didnt fix yet just using jumpers right now to crank and get power to r/b at icm.


Blue(pip)- 200mv cranking
R/b (start) - getting 10 V cranking
W/lb (run b+ from bat) 11.84v key on
g/y (coil -/ idm ) 11.97v key on 9v cranking

I would locate a new harness and start fresh if thats the case. you could spend hours tracing wires and still come up with nothing. have you tested your coil?

Ford Fuel Injection has some great efi wiring diagrams etc..
