a4LD to manual issues...No spark?

[raiper]

well i did think about the ignition control module issue last night. Theres no wires to crimp or snag due to the fact it runs out of a huge wire harness. I was kinda thinkin when i was welding i could of fried it even though there wasnt a battery in it at the time and well there was a section i had to weld at like 220 amps(basically used the rod as a torch and cut some metal off). kinda wondered if that amperage did anything to it. I got another ICM around and ill swap it out sice i dont know how to test it

If you didn't remove the computer while welding, you very well may have fried it. There are periodic horror stories about that (and occasional TSBs).

220A? That's enough for 1/4 inch plate. WTF were you welding?

no i removed the computer before thewelding. and well maybe i was welding quarter inch plate, but no i was cutting a metal bracket off with the rod. when i redo myt bumper from hell thats another story. well im off to get my full size tie rod ends and new used ICM and other bs. ill let ya know if i made any progress later tonight

ok heres another question, but i hooked up a test light to the red wire that connects into the coil pack and the light lit up. it still lights up when i crank the engine. so i know power in my belief is getting to the coil pack, but not going to the spark plugs. is the coil pack faulty?

The coil is continuously powered. It's ground-side switched.

Try connecting a code reader and see if you are able to get any codes. If you don't get any codes then you would know it could be your wiring or ignition?

Had a problem while replacing the heads on my new Bronco II. It would crank but not start. I connected a code reader to check for codes and I didn't get a blink (no clicking noise also). The only other thing that I had done was to replace the stator in the distributor (module tested OK). Replaced the distributor with another distributor with used module and stator and it started right up.

ill try the code reader again gotta remember how this one works.....My B2 has the 4.0 EFI no distributor
