1993 TBI 5.7 No spark
Hello all, I mostly hang out in the 67-72 board, but I have a '93 that now has zero spark after I swapped out transmissions. Yes, I pulled the truck into the garage bay, jacked it up, swapped transmissions (4l60e auto), dropped it back down, went to start it, and zero spark. Getting fuel, no PCM codes. Before the transmission went out (lost 3-4 gears, had to drive it home in second), I have been chasing a stumble and rich mixture issue, so I had replaced the entire ignition system before the trans issue.
Here's what I checked/replaced 1. Power to the pink wire going to the coil with the key on. 2. Cap, rotor and wires are new <200 miles on them, even swapped in the old ones that had less <1k miles on them, just to make sure 3. Swapped in two other ignition modules that tested good (3 modules overall) 4. The distributor is a new parts house unit, as the old one had rusted pole pieces that caused an initial rough idling issue. 5. Tested and swapped in two other coils (again 3 overall units) 6. The engine is a 'new' long block that I put in about 9k miles ago. The old one had eaten the cam. 7. Swapped in a stock PCM, the one in the truck was a replacement unit and the PROM was suspect to me as I couldn't tell what unit number it was. 8. Tested/OHM'd out the pair of PNK and WHT wires going from the coil to the ignition module 9. When I say no spark, I mean nothing from the coil to ground as well as from the dist to plugs.. just to clarify. From what I understand the ignition system will provide spark even without the PCM, the PCM just sends a signal to alter timing is necessary. So, I'm thinking perhaps I'm not getting signal from the reluctor pickup on the dist.. I'm sitting here looking up how to test it without a scope.. but figured I'd create a new thread in case I've missed something stupid easy, which is a pretty common occurrence for me. Thanks for the extra eyes..
