2.9 No Spark

[old409]

I have a 89 Ranger 2.9 with no spark. I've been through all the threads and tried all the remedies. The truck shut off going down the road, no sputters or anything, just wouldn't re-start. I replaced the TIF module on the distributor, the coil and we checked the green/yellow wire from coil to TIF plug to make sure it was ok.

From what I've read, this pretty much leaves the ecu. Is there any way to check an ecu without buying a new one? Is there anything I've overlooked.

Do you have power to the ECU?....relay???

Power to the ecu relay ? I'll check it out. I've been messing with this so much I think I may have missed something. Thanks

If no power to the relay ...then there "should be" a fused link/ in line fuse just prior to the solenoid.

double check those grounds. if they are all good...maybe look into the pick-up coil or Hall effect , inside the distributor
