Title: Need help please '89 dodge truck got it please delete
Post by: tree on February 29, 2012, 01:40:15 AM
I have an '89 dodge truck with the 318 tbi. I parked it the other day now it wont start. I have power to the coil but no spark. Changed the pickup coil that didnt do anything. I also noticed it was not spraying fuel out of the injectors. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is my plow truck and I have accounts to plow. Thank you!

I had the same problem... no spark and no injector pulse.... ummmm.... I dont remember what fixed it. I think it had something to do with the base of the distributor has to be grounded to the intake.... I had to take off my holder downer and clean everything up and put it back together, theres a gasket in there I guess it just grounds threw the holder downer. OR it could have been something completley different, I had my dodge like 4 years ago
