87 BII 4X4, 5.0L, AOD
I need help with a few issues, please:
1. Cranks but no start. Tried to pull codes but cannot. Tried to pull with a test light at the test connector, tried to pull with a code reader, and tried to pull at the check engine light. What would prevent me from being able to pull codes?
2. Checked EEC relay; ok. Checked Fuel Pump relay; not ok. Checked voltage to coil; ok. No spark from coil or to plugs. Had Ignition Control Module on distributor checked; bad and replaced. No change. Changed PIP sensor; FP relay now works and I have spark (New distributor I bought on Amazon was crap). Still no start but am getting some "popping" from the exhaust.
3. When testing the PIP signal at the distributor, using an LED light, I noticed the following: with key off, and light attached, the light comes on; with key on the light goes off; with engine cranking, the light "blinks" on and off as it should. Does this sound right?
4. My BII originally had a manual transmission. I now have an AOD automatic trans. To send power to the AOD Neutral Safety Switch, I simply inserted a fuse into the Clutch Pedal Position switch connector. Is there anything else from the old clutch system I need to be concerned with?
5. Finally, I'm using exhaust manifolds from a 98 Explorer. No exhaust beyond the manifolds at this time. Will I damage the engine by starting it without a complete exhaust system?
Thanks for any help/suggestions you can offer.
