I'm sure I got a short.

With the crank position sensor unplugged I've tested from the wiring harness clip on the ICM to each of the crank position sensor plug wires they come back good.
Ones gray. The other is blue.
With the coil unplugged I've got power consistently at one of the outlets on the four Outlets of the four plug outlet that goes to the coil pack.
The out that's closest to the firewall has power when the key is on.
I've tested from the wiring harness at the ICM to each of the other 3 outlets on the four plug wire Outlet at the coil pack and have contact on each of these as well. They are all yellow with some kind of other color stripe on them.

Yes I'm in Dayton Ohio.
And your right pins 10, 11 & 12 go to the coil pack.

I'm at home now my truck is at my brother's house about 3 miles away from me.

 

[bobbywalter]

so the red green stripe has power at the coil....that is good

the 3 fire wires all test good.

, and the crank sensor wires are good and the sensor tested....and i assume the sensor is the right distance from the balancer teeth...

and pin 8 on the icm has power now?

does pin 9 have good connection to ground?


might be a bad coil....

did you try starting fluid and cranking?


and for sure there is fuel in it?

 

[ShhhhhDougsHere]

The problem is that pin 8 only show me it's getting power is when I have the negative cable unhooked.

 

[ShhhhhDougsHere]

I'm not totally sure that pin 9 is getting ground.

Let me ask this. I have a friend who works at a salvage yard he gave me an extra plug for the icm with about 3 inches of each of the wires on/in it.
That way I can take cut wires from it and put into the actual one that's plugged into my icm so I don't have unplug it all the time or cut any wires on my wiring harness or anything.

So here's the question can use the ground wire from it that cut and run a ground straight to the negative cable/post?
Or well that mess something up?

 

[bobbywalter]

that is likely the branch supply backfeeding. so may be an issue with the pcm.

hmmmm.

 

[ShhhhhDougsHere]

How do I know for sure that the crank position sensor is the right space from the balancer? How do I set that to be sure?

that is good. run power and ground right to it and pull the 8 and 9 out. this isolates it...then hit it with starting fluid if it dont pop off

 

[bobbywalter]

this would be after starting at the relay.

 

[ShhhhhDougsHere]

Okay once again we've gotten out of sink with what we're saying to each other.
Each time someone uses an abbreviation I don't know I have to look it up.
So what's pcm does again.

 

[ShhhhhDougsHere]

That should have said what does PCM stand for again.

 

[ShhhhhDougsHere]

Yes as you've most likely guessed by now I don't know anything about the terms of speech/ abbreviations people use mean a lot of the time.

 

[ShhhhhDougsHere]

What about pin 2 on the icm plug should that be hot too?
