Howdy all .
Well I guess I'll start by saying took the step and durasparked my ranger .
I had a local mechanic perform the service for me because of my work schedule . I gatherd the parts from autozone as per the list in the tech library. I then took the parts to him and left it up to him . After the work was completed picked the ranger up and drove home . Next morning drove to work it ran great . As I sat there listening to my radio and the smooth idle of my freshly durasparked 2.8 it just died . Now all it dose is turn over , no sputter no cough no spark . The mechanic opted to keep the origanal ign. coil in play I've replaced that and the modual and no affect . Anyone got any ideas ? Oh yah I've also checked to make sure the dist. turns when the motor is cranked . Any inpute would be great .

Take it back to the guy.. Sounds like something burnt up or dropped a connection..

I had this happen TWICE!!!! First time my coil (26 years old) went out. The next time it died as I was backing out of my drive way the durabox went out, got it tested for free at autozone, where I got it, and the tests showed that it shorted itself out. Good thing that they have a LLT warrenty on them, at least mine from autozone does and replaced it for free no questions asked.

Forgot to say that my setup was less then 6 months old too so your not the only person to have a new setup go out.
