    No spark, No fuel 1990 5.7 TBI

    Thanks Dave! I got the pickup running as well after replacing the distributor. It had to be the pick up coil in mine also because the 1st icm I installed tested fine at the parts house on 5 different tests. I guess the lesson learned here is that if you have no fuel and no spark with a rusty and...

    Good news guys! Got her all back together and timing reset,...... running like a top now! I installed the new distributor that included the new pick up coil and new ignition control module. I hope it was the new pick up coil that fixed it but after doing MrMarty51's test above I am honestly not...

    Thanks MrMarty, I will try that as soon as I can get back to it. Even though the dis, pc and icm (icm for the 2nd time, included with the new dis) will all be replaced tomorrow I want to verify exactly what the culprit is to hopefully help someone else out later on down the road.

    Thanks Cuba. Looks like Dave and I are fighting the same battle right now! I will keep a watch on his post and also perform the coil test that you wrote about there.

    Cuba, good to know about the Rockauto discount. Just checked ECM fuse as suggested and it is good. However you said ECM A and B fuse and I can only find one 10amp fuse labeled ECM/IGN located under the steering column in the fuse panel. Can't find any other fuse panel under the hood except a...

    It is through my local NAPA. They are the only choice here close by. Not sure of the manufacturer. I had already ordered it yesterday before you guys told me to watch out for anything other than Delco or Delphi. Hopefully it is a good one. I know they source from many suppliers including delco...

    Thanks Jimmy! Some confirmation on the ECM most likely being good makes me feel a lot better. Anxious to get the new distributor installed. The one I received in today had a vacuum advance on it.

    I will keep you guys posted. I got a new distributor in today but it was the wrong one. New one is supposed to be here in the morning. Hoping it is the pick up coil as well. I'm at a lose otherwise. Thanks!

    Thanks 4WDKC. I just went out and tried disconnecting the TPS with no luck.

    Ok, now I feel like the village idiot! Somehow I was thinking that there is both a check engine light and a service engine soon light on this dash. Wrong! I had to go over the dash cluster with a flashlight just to convince myself that there is not an indicator on the panel labeled check engine...

    Thanks for the input. Unless I am missing something I think the SES light is working properly. As stated above in point 4 and 5 above, I did the diagnostic test using the A,B jumper and the only code I got from it was 12. Prior to this test the Check Engine light was on but after the test it was...

    Hello all and thanks in advance for allowing me on the forum. I am trying to help an elderly widowed lady with her late husbands farm truck and I have hit a brick wall. The truck is all factory with only 28,000 miles. It's a 1990 C1500. It does not have any spark or fuel when spinning over. It...
