Unhappy please help! 89 v6 no spark or power at ignitor

So i just bought this truck after it was rolled a week before i got it. I got a really good deal on it because it wouldn't start any more. What he told me is that after they got it back upright it started right up and was idling for a while, then he tured it off and has not started since. It turns over great, i checked the ignitor for power with test light and there is none. I have since put in a new ignition thinking it was that but it did nothing. I reed on the internet that if the check ingine light does not come on then your ecu is bad so i replaced that and nothing diffrent??? I then checked if there was power at the ecu and i cant seem to find any, so I checked for a fuse and where there is said to be the ecu fuse there is no wiring of fuse for one? I'm pretty lost on what to try next any help would be great.....

this might be a pointless question, but have you gone over and checked ALL of the fuses under the hood, and ALL of the wiring around the batter and fuse box under the hood?

most/all of the engine control electrical wiring and fuses is going to be right there at that little box


Oh, and welcome to YotaTech!

wires going to and from the starter would be my next guess, after that , I would say the starter itself. does it even try to turn the engine over?

ok so you said that where the ecu fuses is soppoused to be you said there were no wires for the ecu fuse well that would be one of the first places id start lookin next when they rolled the truck would could have happend is that the ignitor could have been jared around and tore it up mine went out goin down the road. had no spark to the plugs or anything got plenty of fuel and the starter turned over just fine 50 bucks at the scrap yard later truck was running great again
