Confirm spark with a spark checker... It does not lie and takes the guess out of it...

Confirm fuel pressure with a gauge... If no gauge you can shadtree it with a tire pressure gauge are a R12 refrigerant gauge the test port is 3/16 the same as a tire stem :wink:

Pumps can run but not build sufficient pressure...

A fuel pressure gauge would be the best choice... The easiest things to check are right in front of you they must be dead nuts are you will chase your tail forever...

In this post is a pix of a spark checker with instructions... Weak spark will and has beat the best wrench week end internet wanna be are a pro...

I still don't understand why you put a battery in it was it DEAD... I am trying to figger out what the battery issue has to do with it...

Battery cable issues are a P.I.T.A. so much a pain I have had to tool up and stock up on repair parts just to cover those issues..

On yer Ford truck the main ground for the EEC system is grounded right at the negative battery terminal with a separate lead that is inserted to the crimp battery terminal... It will leave it and go into a connector, at the crimp and connector are possible issues...

For the record when I replace a ignition module its gets a coil and a pick up... A failing coil will take out the module...

Checking injector pulse you can use a 12V test light and jump across the injector connector... Rock the connector side to side it should release you can get to one maybe two, one is all that you need to confirm...

On your system you either luv'em are hate'em why because there is NO DATA menu... I luv'em because it forces you to do hands on rock solid test that can be done in a timely manner...

Timely manner being throw the manual away its full of useless test that lead you astray using a DAMM OHM meter...

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in ... [Read Article]
