Alright, I’ve never done a forum post before but I’m a stuck and I have no idea what to do.
I left my house Saturday and made it about 500 feet before my Bronco died, it seemed like I ran out of gas but I had just put gas in it.
i thought the fuel pump was the issue because it was not coming on when turning the key. I bought a replacement pump and installed it, still a no go.
From there I checked the fuel pump fuse, it was fine, replaced fuel relay, still no shot.
I could jump the fuel pump on by crossing the wires where the relay is.
After attempting to start the vehicle while jumping the fuel pump and it still not starting, I checked for spark, nothing.
I checked directly from the ignition coil, bypassing the distributor completely and there was no spark.
I opened up the computer and checked for bad caps but everything looked fine, I also tried another computer but no dice.
I’m at a complete loss here, I have a multimeter and am more than willing to diagnose but I’m not sure what to check at this point.
