The red/blue wire needs to have power, but if you have a manual trans it will only power up with the clutch in.

With the key on, trans in neutral, does the engine start when a screwdriver is placed across the large terminals of the starter relay?

If the engine cranks you can assume the safety switches are good, but the ignition switch or the wiring may be at fault yet.

The dark blue wire relays a signal to the engine computer. If you were to plug the TFI module back in and tap that wire while cranking the engine you would probably see that light flash.


My first suspect for no spark on a 2.9 is ALWAYS, 100% of the time the ignition module itself. It has on occasion been my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th suspect as well.
