wont start
i have an 89 V6 pickup and about a month ago i was driving down the road and hit a massive frost heave and the truck just shut off. i tried starting it and it would turn over but there was no spark. i checked all the wires and everything seemed fine. i just put in a new ignition coil cause there was no spark coming from there but still it wont fire up. any ideas?

i know this is probly something electircal...any ideas?
|
how can you hit a massive frost??
are you still not getting any spark at all??? how are your plugs? |
its a frost heave...when the frost makes a bump in the road.
the plugs are farely new. i tried starting it after i put the new ignition coil on and it turns over like normal but obviously there is no spark if it doesnt start. is that correct? |
not necessarily.
there are many reasons why an engine won't star even if it has spark. spark is very important. a simple way to test it is to pull off one of your wires put a spare (and Known good) spark plug in it, lay it against your block so it has a ground and turn the truck over to see if that plug sparks. |
