[smokeater87]

Hey there folks.i just recently did a 22re conversion into my first gen.I put in a new dash and the whole harness.I finally got the thing to crank over but i am not getting spark.I checked to see if i was getting power to the ignitor box and i wasnt.I cant figure it out.please help me out.Thanks guys

what have you check? have you looked into fuses yet?

[smokeater87 [OP]]

I checked the fuses under the dash when we put the new dash in and everything was good.It will crank over just not start obviously with not spark.I guess i should check the fuses again and see if something blew?

[jimbo74]

what about the underhood fuses?

[smokeater87 [OP]]

Yeah i checked all them.Maybe i should check them again?They were all good.Is it common to blow fuses like that.those are big fuses?

[jimbo74]

although it isnt common to blow them under normal circumstances, they can blow quite easily when swapping an engine to a new cab and trying to get everything all connected

[smokeater87 [OP]]

ok i will check all of them tommorow then.I hope its something simple.

[smokeater87 [OP]]

Ok so it turns out i was getting power to my ignitor box the whole time.I checked all my fuses and they are all good.I checked to see if i was getting power from my ignitor box to the distributer and i am not.What would cause me not to get power to the distributor?

You need a new ignitor and or coil. You should be able to find one pretty easily, just stay away from the dealer unless money isnt important to you, they cost something like 3 or 4 hundred dollars from the dealer. Go to a pick a parts or ecology, you should be able to get one for around 50 dollars. I may have one for your truck. What year is it???

just curious was it a automatic cab? when i swapped over to my extended cab the nutruel saftey switch gave me a head ache for days until i figured out what i was missing.
