no power at coil packs 1998 3.4 v6

guys i just checked the wires from each coil on the plugs no power across them but if i use the ground on firewall getting power there so where does that harness ground

 

SO we've had power at the coils the whole time?

The Igniter module controls the ground based on input from the PCM.

Do you have power on Pin 9 (Black/Red) and ground on Pin 3 (Brown) at the Igniter?

Does the CEL come on with the key on?

 

no if you unplug the coils and check for voltage nothing but if you use the ground on firewall it shows voltage for a second then blows fuse in my voltmeter so i thought it was grounding thru meter I already replaced ignition control module and yes we had power to it

 

thats what Im thinking the trucks wiring harness have never been off still in loom and hard plastic covering no sign no were of rodents I guess just going to start with engine harness pull it and go thru it everywhere else you guys have asked I have had power thanks so much for the help or do you think I should start somewhere else

 

sorry didnt see that no check engine light the plug at the coil is 2 wires black and red is hot is what I was told so if you use the black red and brown ground no power but if you use fire wall with meter it shows power

 

Not sure how your blowing your meter fuse unless you have it configured wrong.

Your not gona see voltage going accross the pins at the coil but from the Black/Red wire to ground you should have battery voltage.

Ah so if the CEL doesn't come on with the key on we need to be checking the PCM, it's never gona spark if the PCM is offline.

Do you have a scan tool? If so can you talk to the PCM?

 

Yeah I hooked it up first and seen the fuel pump was working when cranking it connected and it blowed the fuse I had it on dc 20 volts

 

so I put spark tester between spark plug wire and plug no spark but you are saying that you wont see voltage across the plug so could it be a crank position sensor

 

Something isn't right there, are you sure you had your meter leads in the correct slots on your meter?

If you have no CEL and no communication with the PCM with the key on we need to address that first.
