1994 Ford Ranger

Starter turns. Low voltage to the fuel pump, works with applied voltage though. No spark to plug. Is the coil under the electronic distributor? I'm old old school and havent worked on cars in a while.
Secondly, how do I check if I'm getting power to the coil?
From what I have gathered, maybe incorrectly, the spread of symptoms. Low (under one volt to the pump), none to the plugs, probably the PCM.
Now, car ran fine, fine then stopped while in traffic one night. Put it in my carport for a while, one month, started it, went in the house, let the battery charge, came out within 5 minutes and it would not start again. The manual "Haynes I have sucks, and I can't find what they suggest. So I've been searching the internet. Just orded a new PCM.

I followed your advice and switched the relays and the car started for a few seconds. But the pump is not working on its own. I'm going to go buy a fuel pump relay and see if that will fix it.
Now I know what a fuel pump relay is. I didn't get it in Hayne's. I guess I've been away too long.
I had switched the relays earlier not realizing the consequences and since the fuel pump still didn't work I assumed it was something else. But I guess I made matters worse by putting a bad relay in the EEC.
Now with the new relay I think all is back to normal. I can cancel the PCM on order.
Thanks for the needed education. Now up to 1990's technology.

The reason I choose to work on the old truck myself is that the last time I took it in to ford they quoted $2000 in repairs. So I replace the Mass Oxygen Sensor myself. Of course it costed me about $100 for their expert analysis. They could be working on commission?
The truck is running fine and I feel less than manly not realizing what I did not know about the term relay. An electromechanical switching device? No. Well yes. But in the fuse box.

Thanks, I'll remember your invaluable help.
