You've tried alot, maybe check if the ground on the fuel pump plug is grounding after you've checked the plug for power. You might have a good pump and power to it, but without a ground or a sometimes ground it won't work. My $0.02

Ignition swtitch on the steering column? Just guessing now sorry.....

[sebasshole]

so i checked all the wires to the pump, followed them from the pump to the ground,
no shorts or anything, i cleaned the ground with a grinder for better connectivity.
still no start or prime
i followed the positive all the way to the stearing column, no shorts.
no prime no start
i cut the positive and ran it directly to the battery. NOW the pump turns on.
but still no start.

now what could it be, somewhere under the dash into the engine bay something is not working

and why is it still not starting, it is cranking over. but no start!

[cLAY]

ecm?

[sebasshole]

where is the ecm located?

[cLAY]

Under the dash to the right of the steering column.

[sebasshole]

ok well i checked under the dash and though it was on the passenger side so i found a ecu looking thing.
one clip going to it, i unpluged it and blew the dust of the clip and plugged it back it,
dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn now it wont start or even crank over.

Do you have fire insurance?

[sebasshole]

no unfortunetly lol, but it is for sale $350 whoever wants to take it for parts or to fix

[rangerdanger]

Had a similar problem with a chevy blazer, cranked but no start, good spark , intermittent fuel, turned out to be a fried ecm after going through a deep water crossing. Spent big $$$ and a couple months replacing everything, but in the end it was the ecm. Tricky thing is they don t give a code when they go, they just die

[dubbleJs]

Damn Seb........what a pain that thing has been for you. I could pull the ecm out of my '88....flatdeck should be showing up tonight or tomorrow hopefully we can pull it out before. Give me a shout tom....

[highmiler]

I had an old ford that did that.  There was a loose/ broken wire right off the igniton When it was in the start postion, it would crank and fire, but when it went back to the run position, the power was gone.

[sebasshole]

last attempt at getting it to start, anyone in the south that can help me make sure the timing
on the distributor is correct. its cranking, its getting fuel and spark but no start.
