    Bought bogus denso injectors off ebay-engine ran really rough-replaced those injectors-truck died two weeks later-wont start-has spark and fuel no start-starting fluid no start-no codes-fuel pressure regulator allowed alot of fuel into a glass just cranking motor-dont know exact fuel pressure-truck sputtered before dying! Checked crank sensor 220 ohms-checked igniter connector with key on-5 v pin1 12v pin3 12v pin5-replaced distributor coil-have not replaced distributor condensor/capacitor-wondered how a bad one would effect ignition system!! Ordered used OEM ignitor off ebay-chinese ignitor no spark-spark plugs were wet-dried them no help!! Actron code reader links up to ECU sometimes and not sometimes!! Tried to look at ECU circuit board-riveted-couldnt pull board out!!
