    Hello out there. I have been dealing with this issue for a couple of months. Truck will crank but will not start. I have confirmed fuel pump was not receiving power from the blue cable. I end up hooking power to the blue cable from the ignition, once ignition is on fuel pump pumps gas. It cranks but will not start; how can I verify juice is being passed on to the igniters?

    Pull a plug out, snap it into the the coil and ground the threads of the plug on the block.
    Look for a spark.

    I'd also want to see if the injectors are being pulsed. A noid light helps here.

    Thanks for your reply. It appears that removing the spark plug is a bit cumbersome, is there a way to check if juice is going through the coil?
