so today the truck is running fine all day, so then i stop at home depot to get something, when i get back to the truck i go to strat it but all it does is crank, its getting gas but no spark, i checked the ditributer and it is spinning. then i put a new coil in and that didnt help, so now im 120 bucks into it with the coil and tow back to my place. im calling my uncle tommarow because he was a toyota mechanic for 20+ years and he knows a thing or two about it, he was actually the one who sold the truck to me.
so anyway i thought id see if anyone here could help me out and give me some ideas. its and 84 22r .

 

does it have efi?mine did that and a fuse went out so i replaced it and it started right up, loose wires are a common problem too

 

no its caburated, hence the 22r that i mentioned.common mistake.

 

yea kinda missed that, yea alls i can think of is check grounds and fuses, it could also be 2 wires bumpin together and shorting happened on my datsun 4X4

 

You might check the ohms for the Coil to distributor wire. 7000ohms/foot. You might check the igniter has good ground too.

 

i suck at electrical, how do i check if the igniter has a good ground?

 

I believe you have electronic ignition so may want to go over your fuses anyways.

 

you need to fix this for wheeling sat!

or...

you can mob your mom's car up to the highlakes!

 

lol ya im trying to get it going but now my battery has gone dead from all the cranking. lol

 

its alive!!!!! paid 40 bucks at the junkyard for a igniter and it fired right up.when i pulled my old one off the bottom of it told me that it had been pulled form an 88 pickup so it was from a junk yard too.

 

SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEELING SAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

F' those chevy guys from school!! lol

 

lol ya they dont know what they are talking about.
