So it decided to die on me.... The other day i came out and it wouldn't start. It cranks and acts like it wants to start but will not.
This is what's been done to it recently.
Fuel pump/filter/relay
Plugs/wires
Ignition relay/starter relay
Last night I shook the battery and coincidentally it started up. But the auto part store was closed and I couldn't really take it anywhere.

Yeah ik. I tried shaking it this morning just to see and no go. It wouldn't start. I sprayed starter fluid in the throttle body and it turned over but died right after.
Well the fuel filter can be a maintenance item, but most folks do not change out a fuel pump or a fuel relay for "maintenrance." Were you having a fuel problem when those fuel-related components were cHanged?

Yeah. The fuel pump went out. I mean really it seems like the same thing it's doing now. But when we replaced the fuel pump we replaced the filter and relay along with it.

Wonder if the FPR is having issues. Checking fuel pressure is a must. When in doubt the big 3.... Fuel pressure, spark, compression. If you have a good volt meter or an o scope check the injector plus for reference. You should see the ECU opening and closing the ground side. Ignition on +12 volt to ground on one wire always.

And. What about the ingition control module? Does anyone know where that Is. Or a picture. A friend mentioned that also. Just trying to think of everything.
The ECU sends the fire signals to the coil packs based on the readings from sensors. Takes knock, MAF/MAP, TPS, and temp into account and adjust spark on those tables in the ECU.
But yeah you can get a spark plug, unplug the spark plug in the head and attach to the solo plug. Hold that plug against the block or a good ground and have someone crank it over. You can see the spark. You can also use a current clamp and a meter / scope.
