I have narrowed the problem once more!!! I figured once I started to brag about it working, it would shut down on me... I think my truck likes to be home, so far everytime it's broken down, it has been at home. Anyway, went home for lunch and when I went to leave, it wouldn't start so I got my chance to use the info Lt1s10 gave me... No signal to the injectors, unplugged the 4 pin connector to the dist. and got nothing out of it with the key on. Next step, pull the computer (which was laying on the floorboard anywayand check pin A9 or A16 with the key on and I had a light. Solution: faulty PCM or connector... I'm 99.999% positive it's not the computer. I'll tell you why... After I checked the two pins, I plugged it back in and pushed on the wires to make sure they were makeing a good connection and it fired right up. Any solutions on my next step? At this point I'm not sure if it's the connection or the harness itself. I doubt it but could it be the chip? If it is just the connector (crosses fingers and toes), how do I replace it, I didn't know if I had to replace the whole harness or how that works... I'm going to call the local dealer and see if they have any input also...Thanks guys...
