Fossy31 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 As the title suggests im having problems with the electrics on my truck. The engine will crank over smoothly but there is not 12v's getting to the coil, fuel pump and lpg solenoids. I have researched this and thought it was the spider unit, took the dash apart and removed it (acctually pretty easy to get too) one leg was burn out but there were no tracks coming away from it, anyway resoldered all the joints as suggested in the tech archive post, but to no avail, it still won't start. I have been having this prob for a week and have been getting around it by putting a switched 12v feed to the coil but i dont want this permenatly. Any ideas would be greatfully recieved.

Andy Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Are you getting 12v out of the ignition switch for all the feeds? There will be a feed for the running position that'd power all that & a separate feed for the starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 A '97 should be EFI so you won't get anything to the fuel pump until the ECU sees pulses from the coil, so if the coil wiring is dead it will play possum. Coil & ignition amp will likely be wired pretty direct from ignition switch, there should be a wiring diagram round here somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossy31 Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 All other ignition switched items seem to function except the fog lights? could this be connected? It is indeed EFI, even more confusingly it worked on petrol up untill friday when it just died on petrol, luckily i managed to have enough gas to limp to a station and fill up so now i can only start and run on gas.

Fossy31 Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 After looking again at the wire coming into the plug, 3 pairs were joined so as to bypass it already! and yep it starts without the spider in so it definately aint that. Does anyone have any ideas where to look next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossy31 Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 Problem solved, Im checked them first but somehow managed to miss a fuse had blown. All that work for a bl**dy fuse! oh well at least i learnt my sipider has been bypassed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
