the igniton switch was cycled. I tried the start it. I realized what was wrong when i looked under the hood to see what was wrong. Can anyone tell me what controls the injectors. If i turn the engine over they should spray fuel right? If the computer controls the injectors i'm going to replace the computer next timr i'm out that way and see if it works.

thats what i would do next for sure, find a buddy with a computer that will work for you and try theirs so you dont have to buy one

Yeah, twistedturbine, the engine computer controls the injectors. You're on the right track. Good luck, I hope you get it sorted out.

Problem solved! Turned out the computer was fried. Drove the truck home the other day. Cost me 95 bucks for the computer, i lucked out and found one at a wrecker near by.

Glad to hear that you got it resolved, and thanks for letting us know. A thread like this can help others down the road.

Same exact thing happened to my 89 Bronco 2 2.9L just this weekend. What a travesty.

Same symptons exactly. Guess i have to look for a pcm :-/

That "friend" would at the very least never live that down...

Most likely though since they helped themselves to the battery, I'd help myself to their wallet for 2.5x the cost of the part. (Ya know for markup and labor.)
