I have a 1989 Dodge Pickup D100 V8 automatic w/ 140,000 miles. Truck was running fine until I broke my foot and it has sat for 6 weeks. went to start it & it won't start. It cranks fine. Tried a little spray of engine start but even that didn't help. Replaced the coil, distrib cap, rotor plugs and plug wires....still nothing???
Attached a wire from the positive post of the battery to the positive terminal of the coil....IT STARTED!!! However, disconect the wire & it shuts down. Not sure where the positive wire originates from (goes into a harness of many wires). Am I safe in wiring the coil direct and just leaving it????
